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!! :)
