Intro: A9 - Em9 (2x)
A9
I've these dreams I'm walking home
Em9
Home when it used to be
A9
And ev-ery-thing is as it was
Em9
Frozen in front of me
A9
Here I stand, six feet small
Em9
Ro-man-ticizing years ago
A9
But it's a bit-ter-sweet feeling
Em9
Hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio
D7 A9
And these days
D7 A9
I wish I was six again
D7 A9
Oh, make me a red cape
D7 A9
I wanna be Su-perman
Oh, if only my life
Am7/4 D9 Am7/4 D9
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
Am7/4
All these things would be more
D9 Am7/4
Like they were at the start of me
C D A9
Had it made in eighty-three
Em9
A9
Think-ing 'bout my brother Ben
Em9
I miss him every day
A9
He looks just like his brother John
Em9
But on an eighteen-month delay
A9
Here I stand, six feet small
Em9
And smiling 'cause I'm scared as hell
A9 (tacet)
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
Em9 (tacet)
Where the actors' names have changed
Oh, well
D7 A9
Well, these days
D7 A9
I wish I was six again
D7 A9
Oh, make me a red cape
D7 A9
I wanna be Su-perman
Oh, if only my life
Am7/4 D9 Am7/4 D9
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
Am7/4
All these things would be more
D9 Am7/4 D9
Like they were at the start of me
Am7/4 D9 Am7/4 D9
If my life was more like nineteen eighty-three
Am7
I'd plot a course to the source
D9 Am7 D9
Of the purest little part of me
C#m F#7 C#m
And most my memories have escaped me
F#7
Or confused themselves with dreams
B Bm E7sus4 E7
If hea-ven's all we want it to be
Send your prayers to me
C7
Care of nineteen eighty-three
D9 - Asus2- Am7
D9 - Am7 - D9
Am7 D9
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
Am7 D9 Am7
Rip out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but
D9 Am7 D9
That's my plastic in the dirt
Am7 D9
Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
Am7 D9
Whatever happened to my lunchbox?
Am7 D9
When came the day
Am7 D9
That it got thrown a-way
Am7
And don't you think I should have had
D9 Am7 D9
Some say in that deci-sion?
Am7 D9
If only my life
Am7 D9
If only my life
If only my life
