🎸 Verse 1:
  C#m
 I’ve these dreams I’m walking home
Bm
 Home when it used to be
    C#m
 And ev-ery-thing is as it was
Bm
 Frozen in front of me
  C#m
 Here I stand, six feet small
 Bm
 Ro-man-ticizing years ago
        C#m
 But it’s a bit-ter-sweet feeling
                      Bm
 Hearing “Wrapped Around Your Finger” on the radio

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  Dsus2  C#m
 And these days

 I wish I was six again

 Oh, make me a red cape
 Dsus2    C#m
 I wanna be Su-perman

🎸 Chorus 1:
C#m
 Oh, if only my life
Am7      D        Am7  D
 Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
        Am7
 All these things would be more
     D          Am7
 Like they were at the start of me
     D      C#m Bm
 Had it made in eighty-three

🎸 Verse 2:
   C#m
 Think-ing ‘bout my brother Ben
 Bm
 I miss him every day
    C#m
 He looks just like his brother John
     Bm
 But on an eighteen-month delay
  C#m
 Here I stand, six feet small
  Bm
 And smiling ‘cause I’m scared as hell
   C#m (hold)
 Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
     Bm (hold)
 Where the actors’ names have changed
Oh, well

 And these days

 Dsus2    C#m
 I wanna be Su-perman

🎸 Chorus 3:
      Am7      D        Am7  D
 If my life was more like nineteen eighty-three
        Am7
 I’d plot a course to the source
    D           Am7 D
 Of the purest little part of me

C#m       F#     C#m
 And most my memories have escaped me
              F#
 Or confused themselves with dreams
B D        E       E
 If hea-ven’s all we want it to be
Send your prayers to me

 Care of nineteen eighty-three

🎸 Bridge 2:
    Am7        D
 You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
 Am7           D           Am7
 Rip out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but
     D       Am7  D
 That’s my plastic in the dirt

🎸 Outro:
Am7           D
 Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
Am7           D
 Whatever happened to my lunchbox?
Am7       D
 When came the day
      Am7    D
 That it got thrown a-way
         Am7
 And don’t you think I should have had
   D        Am7  D
 Some say in that deci-sion?
      Am7 D
 If only my life

Tag:
      Am7 D
 If only my life
if only my life…
