[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C]Long [G]may you reign
You're [Am]an animal, you are [F]bloodthirsty
[C]Out window [G]panes talking [Am]utter nonsense
You have [F]no idea
[C]Strings tied to levers
[G]Slowed-down clocks tethered
[Am]All this showmanship
[F]To keep it for you in [C]sweetness[G]
Way to go, [Am]tiger
[F]Higher and [C]higher[G]
Wilder and [Am]lighter
[F]For you
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C]Your little [C]hand's wrapped [Am]around my [G]finger
And it's [F]so quiet in the [G]world tonight.
[C]Your little [C]eyelids [Am]flutter cause you're [G]dreaming
So I [F]tuck you in, turn on your [G]favorite night light
[F]To you everything's funny[Am], you got nothing to regret[F]
I'd give all I have, honey[G]
If you could stay like that.
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow up[G]
Don't you [F]ever grow up, just [G]stay this little
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow up[G]
Don't you [F]ever grow up, it could [G]stay this simple.
I won't let [F]nobody hurt you[Am]
, won't let no one break your heart[F]
And no one will desert you.[G]
Please try to never grow up, never grow up
Way to go, [Am]tiger
[C]You got the dragonflies above your [G]bed
You have a favorite spot on the swing [Am]set
You have no room in your dreams for [F]regrets
(You have no idea)
[C]The time will arrive
for the cruel and the [G]mean
You'll learn to bounce back
just like your [Am]trampoline
But now we'll curtail your [F]curiosity
[F]Take pictures in your [C]mind of your childhood [G]room
[F]Memorize what it [C]sounded like when your [G]dad gets home
Remember the [F]footsteps, remember the [C]words said
And all your [G]little brother's favorite songs
[F]I just realized [C]everything I [G]have is someday gonna be gone.
Way to go,[Am] tiger
[F]Higher and [C]higher
[G]Wilder and [Am]lighter
For [F]you
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, just [G]stay this little
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, it could [G]stay this simple
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, just [G]stay this little
[C]Oh [C]darling, don't you [Am]ever grow [G]up
Don't you [F]ever grow up, it could [G]stay this simple
[C]Won't [Am]let nobody [G]hurt you[F]
Won't let [G]no one break your heart[C] [C]
And [Am]even though you [G]have to[F], please try to [G]never grow up
Way to go,[Am] tiger
[G]Wilder and [Am]lighter
