STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO

INTRO: 

A  E   F#  E  (x2)


VERSE:

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


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



INTERLUDE:
A   E   F#   E 



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

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



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