Chords

[Intro] C#m Bm C#m Bm [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

  Dsus2         C#m
 I wish I was six again

                Dsus2  C#m
 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 [Pre-Chorus]
    Dsus2    C#m
 And these days

  Dsus2         C#m
 I wish I was six again

                Dsus2  C#m
 Oh, make me a red cape

  Dsus2       C#m
 I wanna be Su-perman
[Chorus 2]
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 D
 Like they were at the start of me
[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
[Bridge 1]
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

                             D7  C#m
 Care of nineteen eighty-three
[Break] Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D [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…......
