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

 D7A9
And these days
 D7A9
wish I was six again
 D7A9
Oh, make me a red   cape
 D7A9
wanna be Su-perman

Oh, if only my life
 Am7/4D9Am7/4D9
      Was more like nine-teen eighty-three        
 Am7/4
All these things    would be more
 D9Am7/4
Like they were at the start of me
 CDA9
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

 D7A9
Well, these days
 D7A9
wish I was six again
 D7A9
Oh, make me a red   cape
 D7A9
wanna be Su-perman

Oh, if only my life
 Am7/4D9Am7/4D9
      Was more like nine-teen eighty-three        
 Am7/4
All these things    would be more
 D9Am7/4D9
Like they were at the start of me        

 Am7/4D9Am7/4D9
If my life    was more like nineteen eighty-three       
 Am7
I'd plot a course  to the source
 D9Am7D9
Of the purest little part of me      

 C#mF#7C#m
    And most my memories have escaped   me
 F#7
Or confused themselves with dreams
 BBmE7sus4E7
    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

 Am7D9
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
 Am7D9Am7
Rip  out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but 
 D9Am7D9
That's my plastic in the dirt      

 Am7D9
    Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
 Am7D9
    Whatever happened to my lunchbox?

 Am7D9
    When came the day
 Am7D9
That it got    thrown a-way
 Am7
And don't you think  I should have had
 D9Am7D9
Some say in that deci-sion?   

 Am7D9
If only my life     
 Am7D9
If only my life     
If only my life…
(repeat & fade)
