Into: A, C#m, F#m, D  x2

Verse:
          A
Once in a while
             C#m
I act like a child
               F#m
To feel like a kid again
   D
It gets like a prison in
    A               E
The body I'm living in
                A
Cause everyones watching
               C#m
Quick to start talking
              F#m
I'm losing my innocence
     D
Wish I were a little girl
    A                       E
Without the weight of the world


Chorus:
            A
It would be nice
         C#m    F#m
To start over again
  D            A      
Before we were men
     E        F#m
I'd give, I'd bend
     E
Lets play pretend


Interlude:
A, C#m, F#m, D


Verse:
             A
Remember the time
                C#m
We had soda for wine
              F#m
And got by on gratitude
    D
The worst they could do to you
A                   E
Was check your attitude
                           A
Yeah, when fights were for fun
                C#m
We had water in guns
                     F#m
And a place we could call our own
D
How we lost hold of home
A                    E
I guess I'll never know


Chorus:
            A
It would be nice
         C#m    F#m
To start over again
  D            A      
Before we were men
     E        F#m
I'd give, I'd bend
     E        A
Lets play pretend
    C#m          F#m
And when its the end
    D               A
Our lives will make sense
      E           F#m
We'll love, we'll bend
     E
Lets play pretend


Interlude:
A, C#m, F#m, D  x2


Bridge:
                 A
Its not gonna be long
                 C#m
Before we're all gone
                F#m 
With nothing to show for them
D
Stop taking lives, come on
A                   E
Let's all grow up again


Chorus:
            A
It would be nice
         C#m    F#m
To start over again
  D            A      
Before we were men
     E        F#m
I'd give, I'd bend
     E        A
Lets play pretend
    C#m          F#m
And when its the end
    D               A
Our lives will make sense
      E           F#m
We'll love, we'll bend
     E        A
Lets play pretend
