Version 1 Version 2I Don't Wanna Grow Up Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan [Verse 1] 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 F# G A How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things Bm F# G A Makes me wish that I could be a dog [Verse 2] D A D When I see the price that you pay, I don't wanna grow up D A D I don't ever want to be that way, I don't wanna grow up Bm F# G A Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want Bm F# G A The only thing to live for is today [Chorus 1] D A D I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set, I don't wanna grow up D A D Open up the medicine chest, and I don't wanna grow up Bm F# I don't wanna have to shout it out Bm F# I don't want my hair to fall out Bm F# I don't wanna be filled with doubt Bm F# I don't wanna be a good boy scout Bm F# I don't wanna have to learn to count Bm F# I don't wanna have the biggest amount G A D I don't wanna grow up [Verse 3] D A D Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up D A D They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up Bm F# I'd rather stay here in my room Bm F# Nothin' out there but sad and gloom Bm F# G A I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street [Chorus 2] D A D When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up D A D Comb their hair and shine their shoes; I don't wanna grow up Bm F# Stay around in my old hometown; Bm F# I don't wanna put no money down; Bm F# I don't wanna get me a big old loan; Bm F# Work them fingers to the bone; Bm F# I don't wanna float a broom; Bm F# Fall in love and get married then boom; Bm F# How the hell did it get here so soon? G A D I don't wanna grow up
