A                               D                  D9         A
I think I'm going back to the things I learnt so well in my youth 
                                 D        D9                   A
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth 
 

          F#m                  C#m
Now there are no games To only pass the time 
        F#m                          A
No more colouring books No Christmas bells to chime 
              D                 D9       A       D                D9           A
But thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can't play the game of life to win 
 

                           D                 D9          A
I can recall a time When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend 
                           D                     D9   A
And now I think I've got A lot more than just my toys to lend 
 

             F#m                      C#m
Now there's more to do Than watch my sailboat glide 
          F#m                 A
And every day can be My magic carpet ride 
    D          D9                 A
And I can play hide and seek with my fears 
    D            D9                  A
And live my days instead of counting my years 
 

       F#m                     C#m 
Then everyone debates The true reality 
           F#m                      A
I'd rather see the world The way it used to be 
  D             D9           A        D               D9
A little bit of freedom's all we lack So catch me if you can 
          A
I'm going back
