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…
(repeat & fade)
