[Verse]
C           C/B             Am        G
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
         F               G
and it's so quiet in the world tonight
C            C/B     Am              G
your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin'
     F                         G
so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight


[Pre-Chorus]
F                         Am
To you, everything's funny,
                          F
You've got nothing to regret.
                         G
I'd give all I have honey

if you could stay like that.


[Chorus]
C    C/B              Am        G
Oh, darlin' don't you ever grow up,
          F
don't you ever grow up
     G
just stay this little.
C    C/B             Am        G
Oh, darlin' dont you ever grow up,
         F
dont you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple.
            F              Am
I won't let nobody hurt you,
                             F
won't let no one break your heart,
                            G
yeah, no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up.

F    G


[Verse]
C             C/B       Am           G
You're in the car on the way to the movies
           F                    G
and you're mortified your mom's dropping you off.
C      C/B             Am             G
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
              F                             G
and you can't wait to move out some day and call your own shots.


[Pre-chorus]
F                                               Am
But don't make her drop you off around the block,
                                  F
remember that she's getting older too.

and don't lose the way that you dance
 G
around in your PJs gettin' ready for school


[Chorus]
C   C/B               Am        G
Oh, darlin' don't you ever grow up,
          F
don't you ever grow up
     G
just stay this little.
C   C/B               Am        G
Oh, darlin' don't you ever grow up,
          F
don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple.
F                      Am
No ones ever burned you,
                          F
Nothing's ever left you scarred,
                            G
and even though you want to

Just try to never grow up.

[Bridge]
F                     C                       G
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room,
F                 C                     G
memorise what it sounded like when your dad gets home.
            F                        C
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said,
              G
and know your little brother's favourite songs.
F               C            G
I just realised everything I have

is someday gonna be gone.


[Verse]
C         C/B     Am      G
So here I am in my new apartment,
     F                   G
In a big city, they just dropped me off.
C            C/B          Am                G
It's so much colder than I thought it would be,
     F                       G
so I tuck myself, and turn my nightlight on.


[Pre-Chorus]
F  C  G
...Wish I'd never grown up,

F  C  G
wish I'd never grown up.


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

C   C/B               Am        G
Oh, darlin' don't you ever grow up,
          F 
don't you ever grow up,
     G
just stay this little.
C   C/B              Am        G
Oh, darlin' dont you ever grow up,
         F
dont you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple.
C C/B       Am         G        F
    I won't let nobody hurt you,
          G                  C C/B
won't let no one break your heart, 
    Am              G      F
And even though you want to, 
              G
please try to never grow up.
