A5 A5/G# F#5 E5
D5 D5/C# B5 E5
[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m E If I were a few generations younger who would know D C#m Bm E What I'd like and what I'd do, my taste in music, taste in clothes A C#m F#m E Perhaps I'd meet a girl who likes the things I do and maybe more D C#m Bm E We'd take my thunderbird for a summer trip down to the shore
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A F#m A D Home-coming can only come so soon E D E It's time to go back in time and come run away with you
[Chorus]
A F#m D E And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955 A F#m D E I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39 A F#m D E Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea A F#m D E But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m E I can see your face, your hair-sprayed hair ad polka-dotted dress D C#m Bm E I got suspenders, got my thick-rimmed glasses and my hair's a mess A C#m F#m E But you don't care, we just sip our milkshakes and theorize about the moon D C#m Bm E Listen to Perry Como, I'd get jealous as you swoon
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A F#m A D Home-coming can only come so soon E D E It's time to go back in time and come run away with you
[Chorus]
A F#m D E And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955 A F#m D E I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39 A F#m D E Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea A F#m D E But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity

[Bridge]
A A/G# F#m E Maybe we can build a boat and sail across the sea D D/C# Bm E No electric light will blind us from the starry sky A A/G# F#m E I take your hand, you'd be mine, and in my car at the drive-in D D/C# Bm E The radio is all we need to feel alive A A/G# F#m E Build a rocket ship and fly into the moon and never come back D D/C# Bm E I'll see you on the edge of the galaxy as we run on for miles
[Chorus]
A F#m D E And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955 A F#m D E I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39 A F#m D E Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea A F#m D E But you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity
