As recorded by Aaron Watson feat. Jolee Kate Watson (From the 2023 Album COVER GIRL) [Intro] G D Em D C D [Verse 1]
G                  Em                D
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

         C               D
And it's so quiet in the world tonight

     G      D       Em                    D
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

     C                         D
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight

C                          Em
To you, everything is funny

                     C
You got nothing to regret

                          D
I'd give all I have, honey

D
If you could stay like that
[Chorus]
G                      Em7
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                  D
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

G                      Em
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                      D               Cmaj7
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

                        Em
No one's ever burned you

                        C
Nothing's ever left you scarred

                           D
And even though you want to

                       G  Em  Cmaj7
Just try to never grow up
[Verse 2]
G             D          Em         D
You're in the car on the way to the movies

           C                     D
And you're mortified your mom is dropping you off

   G                         Em             D
At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

              C                            D
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

C                                          Em
But don't make her drop you off around the block

Em
Remember she's getting older, too

C
Don't lose the way that you dance

D
Around in your PJs getting ready for school
[Chorus]
G                      Em7
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                  D
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

G                      Em
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                      D               C
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

                         Em
Won't let nobody hurt you

                              C
I won't let no one break your heart

C
And no one will desert you

                       G D Em D C
Just try to never grow up
[Post-Chorus]
                    G D Em D C
Don't you ever grow up
[Bridge]
                      G                      D
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

C                    G                     D
And memorize what it sounded like whenever I'd get home

             C                       G
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said

                D
And all of your brother's favorite songs

G             Em        D
Oh, don't you ever grow up

          C                       D
Don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

G                      Em7
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

D         C                       D
Don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
[Chorus]
G                      Em
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                  D
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

G                      Em
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up

          C                      D               C
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

                         Em
Won't let nobody hurt you

                              C
I won't let no one break your heart

                          D
And no one will desert you

                       G Em C
Just try to never grow up
[Outro]
                    G D Em D N.C. C
Don't you ever grow up
