G (2) C G
Grandpa gave a wheat penny and I put it in my pocket
G (2) D (2)
I had big plans in my back yard to build me a space rocket
G (2) C G
I talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
G (2) D G
I packed my snowballs nice and tight but in the middle I put rocks
Chorus:
C (3) G
Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G (3) D (2)
And don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
C (2) G (2)
You gotta keep your heart young
D (2) Em (2)
Don’t go growin old before your time has come
C (2) G (2)
You can’t take back what you have done
D (2) G (2)
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
G (2) C G
Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down the hill
G (2) D (2)
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
G (2) C G
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
G (2) D G
It stung like hell so I turned my leg and momma said it’d give me guts
Chorus
G (2) C G
So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
G (2) D (2)
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
G (2) C G
Keep in touch on a fake CB, that same old tic-tac box
G (2) D (hold) G
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle still put rocks
Final Chorus:
C (2) G (2)
And keep your heart young
D (2) Em (2)
Don’t go growin’ old before your time has come
C (2) G (2)
You can’t take back what you have done
D (2) G (2)
You gotta keep your heart young
C (2) G (2)
You gotta keep your heart young
D (2) Em (2)
Sometimes you don’t die quick just like you wished you done
C (2) G (2)
And though love is a loaded gun
D (2) G (2)
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
C (2) G Em
You can’t take back what you have done, yeah, done
D (2) G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
End on G
