[Verse 1]
C Bb
Before you know it, you play your last home game
F
And you throw your cap in the sky
C Bb
Before you know it, you'll be packing your bags
F
To leave your small town behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
But I've got all this wrong, baby
C G
'Cause none of it will ever happen to me
[Chorus 1]
C Bb F
Wish I could go back, have fun
Fm
And grow young
C Bb F G
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
C Bb F
I don't see the rush of growing old
G C
At what point in time does a heart go cold?
Bb F
My youth was short, but it can't be done
Fm C
Oh babe, I just wanna grow young
Bb F
Whoa oh, whoa oh, woah oh
Fm
Babe, I just wanna grow young
[Verse 2]
C Bb
You remember the way we laughed 'til we cried?
F
Or how we danced like no one could see?
C Bb
Do you remember sneakin' out in the night
F G
Being whoever we wanted to be?
[Chorus 2]
C Bb F
Oh, I wish we could go back, have fun
Fm
And grow young
C Bb F G
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
C Bb F
I don't see the rush of growing old
G C
At what point in time does a heart go cold?
Bb F
My youth was short, but it can't be done
Fm C
Oh babe, I just wanna grow young
Bb F
Whoa oh, whoa oh, woah oh
Fm C
Babe, I just wanna grow young
Bb F Fm
Whoa oh, whoa oh
[Verse 3]
C Bb
Before you know it, you'll be responsible and paying taxes
F
And paying attention to the TV
C Bb
Before you know it, you'll be old and you'll be gray
F Fm
And you'll wanna be a stupid teen
[Chorus 3]
C Bb F G
You wish you could go back, have fun, go back, have fun
C Bb F
You'll wish you could go back, have fun, go back, baby
Fm
Go back and grow young
C Bb F G
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
C Bb F
I don't see the rush of growing old
G C
Oh babe I just wanna grow young
Bb F Fm
Whoa oh, whoa oh
[Outro]
C Bb F
I wish I could go back, have fun
Fm C
And grow young
