Verse: (start with no guitar)
Take a walk downtown
see the monkeys goin' round
full of pride and greed
they try to tell me what's going down
was it you who held your dreams deep in your soul
well I've got mine, I'll be the one to rock 'n roll
Chorus:
How many times have you lied outside
to make yourself feel fine
How many times have your cried inside
(acapela)
I'll tell you, I'm not growing old
2 measures Instrumental
Verse:
Frozen cold from sleep
what once was there has sunken deep
and the smile outside covers lies like the ocean tide
planting seeds that bloom all year and blossom wide
yields flowers so colorful they can't be held down inside
Chorus
4 measures Instrumental - piano only (then drum lead in)
2 measures everyone
Chorus
I'm not growing old
I'm not growing old
I'm not growing old
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not growing old
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not growing old
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not...
I'm not growing old
