Intro: G, Bm, Em, C  x2
Capo on 2(or whatever suits your voice, but two sounds closest to original)
Verse:
          G
Once in a while
             Bm
I act like a child
               Em
To feel like a kid again
   C
It gets like a prison in
    G               D
The body I'm living in
                G
Cause everyones watching
               Bm
Quick to start talking
              Em
I'm losing my innocence
     C
Wish I were a little girl
    G                       D
Without the weight of the world


//Chorus//
            G
It would be nice
         Bm    Em
To start over again
  C            G      
Before we were men
     D        Em
I'd give, I'd bend
     D
Lets play pretend


Interlude:
G, Bm, Em, C


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


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


Interlude:
G, Bm, Em, C  x2


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


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