Ramones - I Dont Want To Grow Up

D A
while i’m lying in my bed at night , i don’t wanna grow up
nothing ever seems to turn out right , i don’t wanna grow up

B F# G A
how do you move in a world of fog that’s always changing things
makes me wish that i could be a dog

when i see that price that you pay , i don’t want to grow up
i don’t ever wanna be that way , i don’t wanna grow up

seems that folks turn into things they never want to be
the only thing to live for is today

i’m gonna put a hole in my tv set , i don’t wanna grow up
open up the medicine chest and i don’t wanna grow up

B F#
i don’t wanna have to shout it out
i don’t want my hair to fall out
i don’t wanna be filled with doubt
i don’t wanna be a good boy scout
i don’t wanna hafta learn to count
i don’t want the biggest amount
G A D
no i don’t want to grow up

[ D A ] x2

[ B F# G A ] x2

when i see my parents fight , i don’t want to grow up
they all go out and drinkin all night , i don’t wanna grow up

F#
i’d rather stay here in my room
nothing out there but sad and gloom
i don’t wanna live in a big ol tomb
G A
on grand st .

when i see the 5 0’ clock news , i don’t wanna grow up
comb their hair and shine their shoes , i don’t wanna grow up

B F#
stay around in my ol hometown
don’t wanna put no money down
don’t wanna get a big ol loan
work them fingers to the bone
i don’t wanna float on a broom
fall in love get married then boom
how the hell did it get here so soon
G A D
no i don’t want to grow up
