Verse 
A       G          D         A 
I'm  a kid but not for long, 
I'm a kid but not anymore, 
Don't wanna grow up to be no bore, 
Cause I'm a rocker now that's for sure. 
F          G    A 
I'll stay as I am, 
Stick it to the man, 
I'll be who I want, 
            C           D 
And I'll stay like that. 
A G D A x 2 
 
Verse 
Now I'm a teen, hanging out, 
I'm a teen a rock devout, 
Can't live without music in my soul, 
Be like this till I'm way old. 
A G D A    A      G D     A   G D A 
             uh-oh        uh-oh 
 A                   C           D     A          C          E       D 
Life's moving way too fast, staying still's a really hard task, 
A                   C           D      F             G          A 
Life's moving way too slow, guess I'll have to grow, 
I've made a few mistakes, guess I'll have to put on the brakes, 
Gotta change my ways, go back to those days. 
 
Verse 
But now I guess I'm 64, 
Can't live like this for much more, 
An accountant trying to find, 
How I managed to change my mind.
