Capo 2nd Fret 
 
Intro:  (D)   (A)   (G)  x 2 
 
When you're (D) 5 years old and you walk downstairs 
And catch your (G) parents on the couch 
Playin' some (G/F#) game that (Em) looks like 
(G) Half-dressed (A) mouth-to-mouth 
Well it's a (D) shock to your system 
And your brain starts spinnin' 
And you (G) make your(G/F#)self a (Em) pact 
Yeah, when (G) I grow (G/F#) up 
(Em) I ain't (G) ever gonna (A) do that (NC) 
 
  Yes, you (G) will 
  If you're lucky, you will (A) know just how (it/that) (D) feels  
  (G) To step into 
  (A) A pair of shoes 
  That you (Bm) swore you'd (A) never (G) fill 
  You (G/F#) say you (Em) won't  ((Bass run from E to A)) 
  (A) Yes, you (G) will 
 
(D) Before long, you've got your driver's license 
And the (G) world seems like it's yours 
Except for the (G/F#) fact that you (Em) gotta be (G) home 
By (A) 10, of course 
And that (D) makes you mad - So, you throw a fit 
And slam the (G) door, as you (G/F#) leave the (Em) house 
And yell, "when (G) I have (G/F#) kids, 
(Em) I ain't gonna (G) care how (A) late they're out!" (NC) 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
SOLO 
 
Well you (Bm) know how your grandma and (A) grandpa are happy 
Just (G) sittin' 'round the house 
Wearin' (Bm) clothes that are out-of-date 
(A) Talkin' 'bout the ol' days 
And (G) draggin' photo albums out 
And you (Em) sure do love 'em 
But, I (D/F#) mean "come on, now!" 
(G) You won't ever be that (A) way (NC) 
 
REPEAT CHOURS 
 
  You can (G/F#) say you (Em) won't  ((Bass run from E to A)) 
  But, (A) yes, you (G) will
