I Don't Wanna Grow Up
Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan
D A
D
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up
D A
D
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up
Bm A G
A
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things
Bm A G A
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
(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 A
I don't wanna have to shout it 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 A D
I don't wanna grow up
D A
D
Well when I 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 A
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
Bm A G A
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street
D A
D
When I 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 A
Stay around in my old hometown
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 A D
I don't wanna grow up
