[D]
Well [G] I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
[D] All the latest music fads all pass me by and left me cold
[A] All the kids are talking slang I [G] won't pretend to understand
[D] All my friends are getting married, [A] mortgages and [D] pension plans
[G] And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
[D] And I'm happy and unsettled in the person I've become
But [Am] that doesn't mean I'm settled [G] off and sitting out the game
[A] Time may change a lot but some things they [D] stay the same
I won't [Em] sit down [G] [A] and I won't shut up
And [Em] most of all I will [A] not grow up
I won't [E] sit down [G] and I [D] won't shut up
And [E] most of all yeah I [D] won't grow up

[G] Oh but no one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great
[D] About saving fifty years away on something that you hate
[A] About meekly shuffling down the path [G] of mediocrity
