Taylor Swift – Never Grow Up (Taylor’s Version)

|D    A/C#    |Bm    Bm/A     |G         |A     |
|D    A/C#    |Bm    Bm/A     |Gadd9     |G     |

|D             A/C#      |Bm            Bm/A       |Gadd9               |A            |
   Your little hand's wrapped around my finger, and it's so quiet in the world tonight
|D             A/C#   |Bm                    Bm/A    |
   Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
  |Gadd9                      |A                  |
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight

|Gadd9    |Gadd9             |Bm7      |Bm7       |
   To you, everything's funny,  you got nothing to
 |Gadd9         |Gadd9            |A             |A           |
regret, I’d give all I have, honey,  if you could stay like that

|D   A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9             |A               |
 Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little
|D     A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9                 |A        |
   Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, it could stay this
  |Gadd9       |Gadd9          |Bm7           |Bm7              |
simple, I won't let nobody hurt you, won’t let no one break your
|Gadd9     |Gadd9             |A        |A                |
 heart, and no one will desert you, just try to never grow

|D    A/C#    |Bm    Bm/A     |G         |A               |
 up,                                        and never grow
|D    A/C#    |Bm    Bm/A     |Gadd9     |A               |
 up

|D               A/C#   |Bm             Bm/A    |
   You're in the car, on the way to the movies
   |G                          |A               |
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
|D        A/C#                 |Bm             Bm/A    |
   At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do
             |Gadd9                       |A                  |
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

|Gadd9               |Gadd9                  |Bm7                 |Bm7                |
   But don't make her drop you off around the block, remember that she's getting older
|Gadd9                  |Gadd9              |A                         |A               |
 Too, and don't lose the way that you dance around, in your PJs getting ready for school

|D   A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9             |A               |
 Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, just stay this little
|D     A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9                 |A        |
   Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, it could stay this
  |Gadd9   |Gadd9               |Bm7           |Bm7          |
simple, and no one's ever burned you, nothing’s ever left you
|Gadd9       |Gadd9               |A   |A                     |
 scarred, and even though you want to,  just try to never grow

|D    A/C#    |Bm    Bm/A     |Gadd9     |A     |
 up

|Gadd9                  |D/F#                  |A   |Asus4   |
   Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
|Gadd9             |D/F#                  |A       |A   |
   Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
            |Gadd9                  |D/F#                    |A                        |A    |
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said, and all your little brother's favorite songs
|Gadd9            |D/F#        |A                        |A   |
   I just realized everything I have is someday, gonna be gone

|D            A/C#   |Bm      Bm/A        |Gadd9                |A             |
   So, here I am in   my new apartment, in a big city, they just dropped me off
|D              A/C#       |Bm           Bm/A    |
   It's so much colder than I thought it would be
    |Gadd9                     |A            |
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on

|Gadd9   |D/F#   |A   |A                     |
                         Wish I'd never grown
|Gadd9   |D/F#   |A         |A             |
 up,                wish I'd never grown up

|D   A/C#     |Bm         Bm/A        |Gadd9                  |A       |
 Oh,   I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up, I could still be
  |D        A/C#   |Bm         Bm/A        |Gadd9                   |A       |
little, oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up, it could still be
  |D       A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9             |A        |
simple oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, just stay this
  |D        A/C#              |Bm        Bm/A         |Gadd9                 |A        |
little, oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up, it could stay this

  |D   A/C#     |Bm         Bm/A    |Gadd9                         |A                |
simple,  I won't let nobody hurt     you (never grow up), won’t let no one break your
|D    A/C#   |Bm              Bm/A    |Gadd9   |A                   |
 heart,   and even though you want     to,      please, try to never

|D    A/C#     |Bm    Bm/A    |Gadd9                 |A           |
 grow up, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,      oh-oh (never grow up),   just never
|D    A/C#   |Bm    Bm/A    |Gadd9        |A                |
 grow up,  oh-oh-oh-oh      (never grow up), just never grow
