D A Bm A
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
G A
And it’s so quiet in the world tonight
D A
Your little eyelids
Bm A
Flutter cause you’re dreaming
G
So I tuck you in
A
Turn on your favorite night light
G Bm
To you, everything’s funny
G
You got nothing to regret
A
I’d give all I have honey
(A)
If you could stay like that
D A Bm A
Oohhh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A D
Just stay this little
A Bm A
Ohh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A G
It could stay this simple
Bm
I won’t let nobody hurt you
G
Wont let no one break your heart
A
No one will desert you
D A Bm A G A
Just try to never grow up
D A Bm A G A
Never grow up
D A Bm A
You’re in the car on the way to the movies
G A
And you’re mortified your mom’s dropping you off
D A Bm A
At fourteen, there’s just so much you can’t do
G
And you can’t wait to move out
A
Someday and call your own shots
G Bm
But don’t make her drop you off around the block
G
Remember that she’s getting older too
(G)
And don’t lose the way that you dance
A
Around in your PJs getting ready for school
D A Bm A
Oh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A D
Just stay this little
A Bm A
Oh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A G
It could stay this simple
Bm
And no one’s ever burned you
G
Nothin’s ever left you scarred
A
And even though you want to
D A Bm A G A
Just try to never grow up
G D A G
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood rooOOoom
D A
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
G D
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
Asus4 A
And all your little brother’s favorite songs
G D Asus4 A
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone
D A Bm A
So here I am in my new apartment
G A
In a big city, they just dropped me off
D A Bm A
It’s so much colder than I thought it would be
G A G D Asus4
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
G D Asus4
Wish I’d never grown up
A
I wish I’d never grown up
D A Bm A
Ohhh, I don’t want to grow up
G
Wish I’d never grown up
A
Could still be little
D A Bm A
Ooohh I don’t want to grow up
G
Wish I’d never grown up
A D
It could still be simple
A Bm A
Oh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A D
Just stay this little
A Bm A
Oh darling don’t you ever grow up,
G
Don’t you ever grow up
A D
It could stay this simple
A Bm A G
Ooooh, I won’t let nobody hurt you

Won’t let no one break your heart
Bm A G
And even though you want too

Please try to never grow up
