I Dont Wanna Grow Up Tab

by Tom Waits


intro:   

                                    
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
                                                    
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
                                              
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
                      
No I don't want to grow up

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
                                                
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 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
                                           
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 dont' wanna float on a broom  Fall in love get married then boom
                                 
how the hell did it get here so soon
                      
No I don't want to grow up
