🎸 Verse 1:
  C# minorC#m
 I’ve these dreams I’m walking home
B minorBm
 Home when it used to be
    C# minorC#m
 And ev-ery-thing is as it was
B minorBm
 Frozen in front of me
  C# minorC#m
 Here I stand, six feet small
 B minorBm
 Ro-man-ticizing years ago
        C# minorC#m
 But it’s a bit-ter-sweet feeling
                      B minorBm
 Hearing “Wrapped Around Your Finger” on the radio

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  Dsus2Dsus2  C# minorC#m
 And these days
 Dsus2Dsus2     C# minorC#m
 I wish I was six again

 Oh, make me a red cape

 I wanna be Su-perman

C# minorC#m
 Oh, if only my life
Am7Am7      D MajorD        Am7Am7  D MajorD
 Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
        Am7Am7
 All these things would be more
     D MajorD          Am7Am7
 Like they were at the start of me
     D MajorD      C# minorC#m B minorBm
 Had it made in eighty-three

🎸 Verse 2:
   C# minorC#m
 Think-ing ‘bout my brother Ben
 B minorBm
 I miss him every day
    C# minorC#m
 He looks just like his brother John
     B minorBm
 But on an eighteen-month delay
  C# minorC#m
 Here I stand, six feet small
  B minorBm
 And smiling ‘cause I’m scared as hell
   C# minorC#m (hold)
 Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
     B minorBm (hold)
 Where the actors’ names have changed
Oh, well

 I wanna be Su-perman

 I’d plot a course to the source

 Of the purest little part of me

🎸 Bridge 1:
C# minorC#m       F#F#     C# minorC#m
 And most my memories have escaped me
              F#F#
 Or confused themselves with dreams
BB D MajorD        E MajorE       E MajorE
 If hea-ven’s all we want it to be
Send your prayers to me
               D7D7 C# minorC#m
 Care of nineteen eighty-three

🎸 Break:
Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD  Am7Am7 D MajorD Am7Am7 D MajorD

    Am7Am7        D MajorD
 You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
 Am7Am7           D MajorD           Am7Am7
 Rip out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but
     D MajorD       Am7Am7  D MajorD
 That’s my plastic in the dirt

🎸 Outro:
Am7Am7           D MajorD
 Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my

Am7Am7       D MajorD
 When came the day
      Am7Am7    D MajorD
 That it got thrown a-way
         Am7Am7
 And don’t you think I should have had
   D MajorD        Am7Am7  D MajorD
 Some say in that deci-sion?
      Am7Am7 D MajorD
 If only my life

Tag:

 If only my life
if only my life…
