Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Your little hands wrapped around my finger

 And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids

Flutter cause you're dreaming

 So I tuck you in

 Turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny

 You got nothing to regret

 I'd give all I have honey

 If you could stay like that

Oohhh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 Just stay this little

 Ohh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 It could stay this simple

 I won't let nobody hurt you

 Wont let no one break your heart

 No one will desert you

 Just try to never grow up

 Never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies

 And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

 And you can't wait to move out

 Someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

 Remember that she's getting older too

 And don't lose the way that you dance

 Around in your PJs getting ready for school

Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 Just stay this little

 Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 It could stay this simple

 And no one's ever burned you

 Nothin's ever left you scarred

 And even though you want to

 Just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood rooOOoom

 Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home

 Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

 And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment

 In a big city, they just dropped me off

It's so much colder than I thought it would be

 So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

 Wish I'd never grown up

 I wish I'd never grown up

Ohhh, I don't want to grow up

 Wish I'd never grown up

 Could still be little

Ooohh I don't want to grow up

 Wish I'd never grown up

 It could still be simple

 Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 Just stay this little

 Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

 Don't you ever grow up

 It could stay this simple

 Ooooh, I won't let nobody hurt you

 Won't let no one break your heart

 And even though you want too

 Please try to never grow up

Ohhhohoh,ohhoh, don't you ever grow up

-once

Ohhhoh,(never grow up) just never grow up

Have fun!! :)
