A C#m F#m E x2

          A.                       C#m                  F#m
Once in a while I act like a child to feel like a kid again
  D.                                 A.                    E
It feels like a prison in the body I'm livin in.
                     A.                                 C#m
Cuz everyone's watching quick to start talking
                         F#m.                D.             
I'm losing my innocence. Wish I were a little girl
       A.                                   E
Without the weight of the world.

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

A C#m F#m E x2
                          A                                 C#m
Remember the time, we had soda for wine 
                         F#m.                D.  
And got by on gratitude. The worst they could 
                   A.                                  E
Do to you, was check your attitude. 
                                          A.                             C#m
Yea when fights were for fun, we had water in guns
                            F#m.                D.                
And something to call our own. How we lost
                      A.                                 E
Hold of home I guess ill never know.

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

A C#m F#m E x2
                             A.                              C#m
It's not gunna be long, before we're all gone
                         F#m
With nothing to show for them. 
           D.                             A                                 E
Stop taking lives come on, let's all grow up again.

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