Verse 1
[E] [F] [F#dim]
I won't grow up

[Gm7] [C7]
Just to learn to be a puppet
[F] [F7]
And recite a silly rule

If growing up means it would be
[Dm] [Dm7] [D7]

[F]
Not me
Verse 2

In the middle of July

[Bb] [Bbmin6]
And if it means that I must prepare
[Dm] [Dm7] [D7]
To shoulder burdens with a worried air

I'll never grow up, won't grow up, never grow up
[F]
So there
Bridge
[Bb]
Never gonna be a man
[C7#5] [F]
I won't!
[Bb]
Like to see somebody try
[C7#5] [F]
And make me!

Anyone who wants to try
[Dm] [Dm7] [Gm7]
And make me turn into a man
[C7] [C7#5]
Catch me if you can
