C F Am G [Verse 1]
C
Do you remember the good old days?

                F
When life was a lot less crazy

                        Am
The grassy field where all the kids would play

                        G
Instead of lying around being lazy

                        C
Those warm memories of the past

                        F
Are so much different to life now

                        Am
Oh, everything has changed so fast

                                        G
And I wish that somehow
You could [Chorus]
                C
Take me back to the way things were

                        F
Spending recess on the slides

                  Am
Take me back to when my whole world

                G2
Was only one block wide

                        C
Take me back to when the girls had cooties

                        F
And the boys were from Mars

                   Am
Take me back to that wood chipped heaven

        G
Of jungle gyms and monkey bars

        Am              F                       G
Please, oh please, won’t somebody

                C               F                       Am                      G
Take me back
[Verse 2]
                        C
Take me back to the simpler times

                        F
When school was a lot less work and a lot more fun

                Am
Buying snacks with a handful of nickels and dimes

                        G
And sleeping soundly when the day is done

                C
I wish life was as simple right now

                F
As it was a few years ago

                        Am
Nothing could ever drag me down

                           G
And that’s why I want to go back

  G
So
[Chorus]
                C
Take me back to the way things were

                        F
Spending recess on the slides

                  Am
Take me back to when my whole world

                G2
Was only one block wide

                        C
Take me back to when the girls had cooties

                        F
And all the boys were from Mars

                   Am
Take me back to that wood chipped heaven

        G
Of jungle gyms and monkey bars

        Am              F                       G
Please, oh please, won’t somebody

                C
Take me back
(Ending)
                        C
But we can’t go back

                        F
We can’t change the past

                                Am              G
We can only keep going ahead

                        C
I may keep looking back

                        F
Looking at my past

                        Am
But I wish that, instead

        G                               C
Someone could take me back
