D A When I'm ly D in' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up
D A Nothin' ever see D ms to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up
Bm A G How do you A move in a world of fog that's always changing things
Bm Makes me wish that I could be A a dog G A
(chord pattern repeats)
When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want
The only thing to live for is today
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna grow up
Bm I don't wanna have to shout it A out (repeat Bm A for next section)
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
G I don't wa A nna grow up D
D A Well when I D see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up
Bm I'd rather stay here in my ro A om
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
Bm I don't wanna live in a big old A tomb on Grant Street G A
D A When I D see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up
Bm Stay around in my old home A town
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
G I don't wa A nna grow up D
Tom Waits
