Intro: A9 - Em9 (2x)

    A9I've (x02423@1)these dreams I'm walking home
Em9Home (022032@1)when it used to be
       A9And (x02423@1)ev-ery-thing is as it was
Em9Frozen (022032@1)in front of me

   A9Here (x02423@1)I stand, six feet small
   Em9Ro-man-ticizing (022032@1)years ago
               A9But (x02423@1)it's a bit-ter-sweet feeling
                                           Em9Hearing (022032@1)"Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the   radio

    D7 (xx0212@1)  A9And (x02423@1)these days
  D7 (xx0212@1)       A9I (x02423@1)wish I was six again
                D7 (xx0212@1)A9Oh, (x02423@1)make me a red   cape
  D7 (xx0212@1)     A9I (x02423@1)wanna be Su-perman


Oh, if only my life
Am7/4              D9                   Am7/4   D9
     Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
               Am7/4
All these things    would be more
          D9                    Am7/4
Like they were at the start of me
          C (x32010@1)       D (xx0232@1)    A9Had (x02423@1)it made  in eighty-three


Em9 (022032@1)      A9Think-ing (x02423@1)'bout my brother Ben
     Em9I (022032@1)miss  him every day
       A9He (x02423@1)looks just like his brother John
          Em9But (022032@1)on an eighteen-month delay


   A9Here (x02423@1)I stand, six feet small
    Em9And (022032@1)smiling 'cause I'm scared as hell
     A9 (tacet)
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
          Em9(tacet) (022032@1)Where the actors' names have changed
Oh, well

      D7 (xx0212@1)  A9Well, (x02423@1)these days
  D7 (xx0212@1)       A9I (x02423@1)wish I was six again
                D7 (xx0212@1)A9Oh, (x02423@1)make me a red   cape
  D7 (xx0212@1)     A9I (x02423@1)wanna be Su-perman

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


         Am7/4              D9                 Am7/4   D9
If my life    was more like nineteen eighty-three
                Am7I'd (x02010@1)plot a course  to the source
       D9                     Am7 (x02010@1) D9
Of the purest little part of me

C#m (x13321@4)                 F#7 (242352@1)        C#m (x13321@4)  And most my memories have escaped   me
                            F#7Or (242352@1)confused themselves with dreams
B (x2444x@1)   Bm (x24432@1)                E7sus4 (020200@1)       E7 (020130@1)  If hea-ven's all we want     it to be
Send your prayers to me
                            C7Care (x32310@1)of nineteen eighty-three

D9 - Am7 - D9

        Am7 (x02010@1)             D9
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
  Am7 (x02010@1)                   D9                       Am7Rip (x02010@1) out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but
          D9                Am7 (x02010@1) D9
That's my plastic in the dirt

Am7 (x02010@1)                   D9
   Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
Am7 (x02010@1)                   D9
   Whatever happened to my lunchbox?

Am7 (x02010@1)            D9
   When came the day
           Am7 (x02010@1)        D9
That it got    thrown a-way
                  Am7And (x02010@1)don't you think  I should have had
     D9               Am7 (x02010@1)  D9
Some say in that deci-sion?

             Am7 (x02010@1) D9
If only my life
             Am7 (x02010@1) D9
If only my life
If only my life
