(verso 1)
D# Cm
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
G# A#
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
D# Cm
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
G# A#
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight
G#
To you, everything's funny
Cm G#
You got nothing to regret
A#
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that
(Refrão)
D# Cm G#
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
A#
Just stay this little
D# Cm G#
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
A# G#
It could stay this simple
Cm
I won't let nobody hurt you
G#
Wont let no one break your heart
D#
No one will desert you
A# D# Cm G# A#
Just try to never grow up
D# Cm G# A#
Never grow up
(verso 2)
D# Cm
You're in the car on the way to the movies
G# A#
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
D# Cm
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
G#
And you can't wait to move out
A#
Someday and call your own shots
G#
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Bm G#
Remember she's getting older too1stchords
A#
And don't lose the way that you dance around
in your PJs getting ready for school
(Refrão)
( D# Cm G# A# )
G# D# A#
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
G# D# A#
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
G# D#
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
A#
And all your little brother's favorite songs
G# D# A#
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone
D# Cm
So here I am in my new apartment
G# A#
In a big city, they just dropped me off
D# Cm
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
G# A#
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
G# D# A#
Wish I'd never grown up
G# D# A#
I wish I'd never grown up
