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