 G     D         Em             G          D          Em           
There’s a lady in a doorway, and she’s shining like her shoes. 
 C      D          A  G           A                  B  
She sits us in a circle for to read the morning rules. 
 G     D         Em             G          D          Em  
I don’t mean to be a deadbeat.  But the beat keeps playin on, 
 C                D          A 
When the little man’s on fire, 
 G           A                  B  
Cause he knows there’s something wrong 

Chorus: 
     Em           D       D               Em  
Don’t make me grow up.  Don’t make me grow cold 
 Em                    D/G  C/G   D      Em  
Don’t make me keep quiet as my body gets old 
          A               Em  
There’s a hurricaine a comin’ and it’s comin down the road. 
          G      D       A  
So I’m gonna need a little control. 
          G       D        Em  
Yes I’m gonna need a little control.

Keepin tickin time is wasteful on the course I must traverse 
But the giant shiny people tend to go from bad to worse 
When I’m forced to change direction without reason without means 
Who’s gonna stop the runnin engines, comin down at breakneck speed 

Chorus
 
Bridge: 
 A               Em  
I can see the hope collected in our eyes 
 A               B 
And I can feel the strain how hard we all must try
