Intro
, , , x4
(One, Two, One, Two, three, Four)
Verse 1
Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old.
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
All the kids are talking slang I wont pretend to understand.
All my friends are getting married. Mortgages and pension plans.
And its obvious my angry adolescent days are done.
And Im happy and Im settled in the person Ive become.
But that doesnt mean Im settled up and sitting out the game-
Time may change a lot. But some things they stay the same.
Chorus
stops playing, or you could play either the chords shown here or the
bass line which is how i play it.)**
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all i will not grow up. x2
BUILD UP INTO VERSE 2:
Verse 2
Oh, Maturitys a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.
Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
All your friends and peers and family solemnly tell you you will
have to grow up, be an adult. Yeah, be bored and unfulfilled.
But no ones yet explained to me exactly whats so great
about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity.
Well if thats your road then take it but its not the road for me.
Chorus
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all i will not grow up. x2
Bridge
And if all you ever do with your life is Just photosynthesise,
then youll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights
that you waste wondering when youre gonna die.
Violin Solo Follows the same chord pattern as the Verses:
BREAKDOWN is the same as the chorus * again, i play the bassline:
And I'll Play
And You Sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin. (x2)
FINAL CHORUS - play full chords:
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all i will not grow up.
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all i will not... grow... up...
