[N]
[D]
Well [G] I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
[D] All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
All the kids [A] are talking slang I [G] won't pretend to understand
[D] All my friends are getting married Mortgages and 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 [A] that doesn't mean I'm settled off [G] and sitting out the game
[A] Time may change a lot but some things they stay [D] the same
And I won't [Em] sit down and I [D] won't shut up And most of all [G] I will not [D] grow up
And I won't [Em] sit down and I [D] won't shut up And most of all [G] yeah I won't [D] grow up
[G] Old maturities, the wrapped up package deal or so it seems
I've [D] pitched in teenage fantasy, me stitching all your dreams
All your friends and peers [Am] and family [G] solemnly tell you
You will have to [D] grow up, be an adult, yeah [A] be bored and [D]
unfulfilled
Oh [G] but no one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About [D] saving fifty years away on something that you hate
About me clean shuffling down the path [G] of mediocrity
[A] But if that's your road then take it but it's not the [D] road for me
And I [Em] won't sit down and I won't [D] shut up And most [G] of all I will not grow [D] up
And I won't [Em] sit down and I won't [D] shut up And most of all yeah [G] I won't [A] grow up
[D] And if all you do in your life is just [A]
[D] photosynthesize
Then you'll desire every hour of this sleepless night
That you waste [A] wondering when you're [D] gonna die

Now I'll [E] play, [D] you sing, the perfect way [G] for the evening [D] to begin
Now I'll play, [Em] [D] you sing, the perfect [G] way for the evening to [D] begin
[Bm] And I won't sit down [G] and I won't shut [D] up And most of [G] all yeah I won't grow [D] up
And I won't [Em] sit down [G] and I won't [D] shut up And most of [G] all I will not grow [D] up
And I won't sit [Em] down and [G] I won't shut [D] up And most of [Em] all I will [G] not [A] grow up
