[C] [C/B] [Am] [G]
[F] [G]
[C]Your little [C/B]hand's wrapped [Am]around my [G]finger
And it's [F]so quiet in the [G]world tonight.
[C]Your little [C/B]eyelids [Am]flutter cause you're [G]dreaming
So I [F]tuck you in, turn on your [G]favorite night light
[F]To you everything's funny[Am], you got nothing to regret[F]
I'd give all I have, honey[G]
If you could stay like that.
[C]Oh [C/B]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow up[G]
Don't you [F]ever grow up, just [G]stay this little
[C]Oh [C/B]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow up[G]
Don't you [F]ever grow up, it could [G]stay this simple.
I won't let [F]nobody hurt you[Am], won't let no one break your heart[F]
And no one will desert you.[G]
Just try to never grow up, never grow up
[C] [C/B] [Am] [G]
[F] [G]
(yeah, never grow up)
[C] [C/B] [Am] [G]
[F] [G]
[C]You're in the [C/B]car on the [Am]way to the [G]movies
And you're [F]mortified your mom's [G]dropping you off
[C]At 14 [C/B]there's just so [Am]much you can't [G]do
And you can't [F]wait to move out someday and [G]call your own shots.
[F]But don't make her drop you off around the block[Am]
Remember that she's getting older [F]too.
And don't lose the way that you dance
[G]around in your pj's getting ready for school
[C]Oh [C/B]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, just [G]stay this little.
[C]Oh [C/B]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, it could [G]stay this simple
[F]No one's ever burned you[Am], nothing's ever left you [F]scarred
And even though you want to[G], just try to never grow up.
[C] [C/B] [Am] [G]
[F] [G]
[F]Take pictures in your [C]mind of your childhood [G]room
[F]Memorize what it [C]sounded like when your [G]dad gets home
Remember the [F]footsteps, remember the [C]words said
And all your [G]little brother's favorite songs
[F]I just realized [C]everything I [G]have is someday gonna be gone.
[C]So here I [C/B]am in my [Am]new apart-[G]ment
In a [F]big city, they just [G]dropped me off.
[C]It's so much [C/B]colder than I [Am]thought it would [G]be
So I [F]tuck myself in and turn my [G]night light on
[F] [C] [G] Wish I'd never grown up,
[F] [C] [G] I wish I'd never grown up.
[C]Oh [C/B]I don't [Am]wanna grow [G]up, wish I'd [F]never grown up
I could [G]still be little.
