E  D
[Verse 1]
E
Please don't make my wedding dress
                           D E
I'm too young to marry yet
                             D E
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
A       Gm         F#m       E
How the world just turns and turns
A        Gm  F#m E   
How does anybody learn?
E
[Verse 2]
E                           D E
Mummy, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
                                       D E
'Cause I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on
A       Gm          F#m   E
How the world slips by so fast
A        Gm  F#m E
How does anybody last?
E
[Chorus]
       D     Gm    E
As the world keeps coming
        D    Gm   E
And the bees keep humming
    D    Gm   E
And I'll keep running
D E
[Verse 3]
E                        D E
Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
                          D E
White material will stain
My pocket knife's got a shiny blade
A       Gm        F#m        E
I'm not trying to break your heart
A        Gm            F#m   E
I'm just trying not to fall apart 
[Chorus]
       D     Gm    E
As the world keeps coming
        D    Gm   E
And the bees keep humming
    D    Gm   E
And I'll keep running
D E
[Verse 4]
E
Please don't make my wedding dress
                           D E
I'm too young to marry yet
                             D E
Can you see my pocket knife?
