Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

2 measures guitar only (end on C)

piano, bass, drums join in for 2 measures

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

 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
