{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
{section: Intro}
[D], [Dsus2], [D], [Dsus2]    x4

(One, Two, One, Two, three, Four)

{section: Verse 1}
Well I [G]guess I should confess that I am starting to get old.

All the [D]latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.

All the [A]kids are talking slang I won’t pre[G]tend to understand.

All my [D]friends are getting married. Mortga[A]ges and pension [D]plans.

And it’s [G]obvious my angry adolescent days are done.

And I’m [D]happy and I’m settled in the person I’ve become.

But that [A]doesn’t mean I’m settled up and [G]sitting out the game-

[A]Time may change a lot. But some [D]things they stay the same.

{section: 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 [E]down

[G]  And I [A]won't s[D]hut up

  And most of [E]all i will [G]not [A]grow [D]up.      x2

BUILD UP INTO VERSE 2:

 [D]  [Dsus2]  [D]  [Dsus2]

{section: Verse 2}
Oh, Ma[G]turity’s a wrapped-up package deal or so it seems.

[D]Ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.

All your [A]friends and peers and family sol[G]emnly tell you you will

have to [D]grow up, be an [A]adult. Yeah, be [D]bored and unfulfilled.

But [G]no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great

about [D]slaving 50 years away on something that you hate.

About [A]meekly shuffling down the path of [G]mediocrity.

Well if [A]that’s your road then take it but it’s [D]not the road for me.

{section: Chorus}
  And I won't sit [E]down

[G]  And I [A]won't s[D]hut up

  And most of [E]all i will [G]not [A]grow [D]up.      x2

{section: Bridge}
And if [Bm]all you ever do with your life is Just [A]photosynthe[G]sise,

then you’ll de[G/F#]serve every hour of your sleepless nights

that you [E]waste wondering [A]when you’re gonna [D]die.

Violin Solo Follows the same chord pattern as the Verses:

 [G]

 [D]

 [A]    [G]

 [A]    [D]

BREAKDOWN is the same as the chorus * again, i play the bassline:

 [E]  [G]  [A]  [D]

  And I'll [E]Play

[G]  And [A]You Sing[D]

  The perfect [E]way for the [G]evening [A]to be[D]gin.  (x2)

FINAL CHORUS - play full chords:

  And I won't sit down    [E]

[G]  And I [A]won't s[D]hut up

  And most of [E]all i will [G]not [A]grow [D]up.

  And I won't sit [E]down

[G]  And I [A]won't s[D]hut up

  And most of [E]all i will [G]not... g[A]row... [D]up...

[I used the chord tab already submitted for this song by
