[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] 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.

And even though you want to[G] , just try to never grow up.

[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.
[C] Oh [C/B] I don't [Am] wanna grow [G] up, wish I'd [F] never grown up
It could [G] still be simple.
[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
