    A9
I've these dreams I'm walking home

Em9
Home when it used to be

       A9
And ev-ery-thing is as it was

Em9
Frozen in front of me

   A9
Here I stand, six feet small

   Em9
Ro-man-ticizing years ago

               A9
But it's a bit-ter-sweet feeling

                                           Em9
Hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the   radio
[Pre-Chorus]
    D7    A9
And these days

  D7         A9
I wish I was six again

                D7  A9
Oh, make me a red   cape

  D7       A9
I wanna be Su-perman
[Chorus] 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         D      A9
Had it made  in eighty-three
Em9 [Verse 2]
      A9
Think-ing 'bout my brother Ben

     Em9
I miss  him every day

       A9
He looks just like his brother John

          Em9
But on an eighteen-month delay

   A9
Here I stand, six feet small

    Em9
And smiling 'cause I'm scared as hell

     A9 (tacet)
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie

          Em9 (tacet)
Where the actors' names have changed
Oh, well [Pre-Chorus]
      D7    A9
Well, these days

  D7         A9
I wish I was six again

                D7  A9
Oh, make me a red   cape

  D7       A9
I wanna be Su-perman
[Chorus] 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

                Am7
I'd plot a course  to the source

       D9                     Am7   D9
Of the purest little part of me
[Verse 3]
C#m                   F#7          C#m
   And most my memories have escaped   me

                            F#7
Or confused themselves with dreams

B     Bm                  E7sus4         E7
   If hea-ven's all we want     it to be
Send your prayers to me
                            C7
Care of nineteen eighty-three
D9Asus2- Am7 D9Am7D9
        Am7               D9
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors

  Am7                     D9                       Am7
Rip  out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but

          D9                Am7   D9
That's my plastic in the dirt
[Outro]
Am7                     D9
   Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
Am7                     D9
   Whatever happened to my lunchbox?

Am7              D9
   When came the day

           Am7          D9
That it got    thrown a-way

                  Am7
And don't you think  I should have had

     D9               Am7    D9
Some say in that deci-sion?

             Am7   D9
If only my life

             Am7   D9
If only my life
If only my life… (repeat & fade)
