VERSE:

A5                              E5
Once in a while I act like a child
               F#5            E5
To feel like a kid again
   D5                          A5                 E5  F#5  E5
It gets like a prison in the body I'm living in
                    A5
Cause everyone's watching
                        E5
And quick to start talking
                F#5     E5
I'm losing my innocence
D5                             A5                        E5                 
Wish I were a little girl without the weight of the world


CHORUS:
            A5              E5        F#5
It would be nice to start over again
  E5            A5
Before we were men
      E5        F#5
I've give my bend
   E5
Lets play pretend



INTERLUDE:
A5   E5   F#5   E5 



VERSE:
               A5
Remember the times
                E5 
We had soda for wine
            F#5          E5
And got by on gratitude
D5                      
The worst they could do to you
A5                     E5
Was check your attitude

                            A5
Yeah, when fights were for fun
                   E5
We had water for guns
                      F#5             E5
And a place we could call our own
D5
How we lost hold of that
A5                       E5
I guess I'll never know



CHORUS:
            A5              E5        F#5
It would be nice to start over again
  E5            A5
Before we were men
      E5        F#5
I've give my bend
   E5               A5
Lets play pretend
     E5                F#5
And when it's the end
    E5                A5
Our lives will make sense
        E5           F#5
We'll love, we'll bend
      E5                  A5  E5  
Let's play pretend
F#5         E5             A5  E5  F#5 E5
    Lets play pretend
                   A5
It's not gonna be long
                    E5
Before we're all gone
                F#5            E5
With nothing to show for them
D5               
Stop taking lives, come on
A5                    E5
Lets all grow up again

(Chorus repeat x2 if not reprise version)
