[Intro] Bm Am Bm Am [Verse] Bm I’ve these dreams I’m walking home Am Home when it used to be Bm And ev-ery-thing is as it was Am Frozen in front of me Bm Here I stand, six feet small Am Ro-man-ticizing years ago Bm But it’s a bit-ter-sweet feeling Hearing “Wrapped Around Your Finger” Am On the radio [Pre-Chorus] Csus2 Bm And these days Csus2 Bm I wish I was six again Csus2 Bm Oh, make me a red cape Csus2 Bm I wanna be Su-perman [Chorus] Bm Oh, if only my life Gm7 C Was more like nine-teen Gm7 C Eighty-three Gm7 All these things would be more C Gm7 Like they were at the start of me C Bm Am Had it made in eighty-three [Verse] Bm Think-ing ‘bout my brother Ben Am I miss him every day Bm He looks just like his brother John Am But on an eighteen-month delay Bm Here I stand, six feet small Am And smiling ‘cause I’m scared as hell C#m Kind of like my life is Like a sequel to a movie Bm Where the actors’ names have Changed, Oh, well [Pre-Chorus] Csus2 Bm And these days Csus2 Bm I wish I was six again Csus2 Bm Oh, make me a red cape Csus2 Bm I wanna be Su-perman [Chorus] Bm Oh, if only my life Gm7 C Was more like nine-teen Gm7 C Eighty-three Gm7 All these things would be more C Gm7 C Like they were at the start of me [Chorus] Gm7 C If my life was more like nineteen Gm7 C Eighty-three Gm7 I’d plot a course to the source C Gm7 C Of the purest little part of me [Bridge] Bm E Bm And most my memories have escaped me E Or confused themselves with dreams A C D D If hea-ven’s all we want it to be, Send your prayers to me C7 Bm Care of nineteen eighty-three [Break] Gm7 C Gm7 C Gm7 C Gm7 C [Bridge] Gm7 C You can paint that house a Rainbow of colors Gm7 C Rip out the floorboards, Gm7 Replace the shutters, but C Gm7 C That’s my plastic in the dirt [Outro] Gm7 C Whatever happened to my, Whatever happened to my Gm7 C Whatever happened to my lunchbox? Gm7 C When came the day Gm7 C That it got thrown a-way Gm7 And don’t you think I should have had C Gm7 C Some say in that deci-sion? Gm7 C If only my life [Tag] Gm7 C If only my life, if only my life
