Verse 1:
              Dm       F
We're getting old, now
             Bb     Gm
But I don't feel it
                 Dm    F
I say you're beautiful
             Bb     Gm
And I still mean it
             Dm        F
And I don't wanna know
              Bb       Gm
What old age feels like
               Dm       F
So promise me you won't
            Bb       Gm
Give up on this life
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
     Dm                 F
And we'll be busy tryin'
           Bb                 Gm
While the rest of them are dyin'
 
Chorus 1:
Bb                          C
Promise me we'll never grow up
                   Am
I don't wanna let go
                  Dm
I wanna stay young
Bb                               C
And even when the wrinkles show up
                      Am
We'll be laughing, and
                            D                     Gm
We can play forever, don't make me face the truth
 
Verse 2:
             Dm      F
I think it's obvious
                  Bb  Gm
That we'll stay happy
               Dm      F
Cause I'm the happiest
               Bb    Gm
When you smile at me
               Dm         F
And we won't end the same
           Bb   Gm
a broken family
             Dm      F
I'll never walk away
             Bb     Gm
Without you with me
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
      Dm                     F
And times are getting harder
         Bb                  Gm
But I'm nothing like my father
 
Chorus 2:
Bb                           C
Promise me we'll never grow up
                     Am
I don't wanna fall out
                Dm
I wanna make love
Bb                          C
And even when we can't sew up
                  Am
We're together, and
                        D                    Gm
Happy ever after, don't make me face the truth
 
Bridge:
         Dm  C   Gm
That I'm dying soon
           Dm   C    Gm
That we're dying soon  -Don't say goodbye!-
 
       Bb
We're so much older...
Dm               Am
All I want is one more life with you! -When did we get so old, so old, so old?-
 
Bb                    C
When did we get so old?
                    Am
Why did you get so sick?
                  Dm
And how could you die?
 
Verse 3:
Bb                                C
You promised me you'd never grow up
                    Am
Now I have to let go
                     Dm
God, I miss you so much!
Bb                              C
And even when your heart gave out
                  Am
I was thinkin' how
                  D
I won't say goodbye!
 
Bb                                C
You promised me you'd never grow up
                      Am
But you xxxxing grew up
                     Dm
God, I miss you so much!
Bb                     *MUTE*   C
And even when your heart GAVE out  -Scream the "GAVE" as hard as you can-
                Am
I was thinkin' I'd

Love you till forever, and I can't face the truth
