[Verse 1]
    Amaj9                 Asus2       Em9
I've     these dreams I'm walking home
                     Em6add9 Em
Home when it used to be     
     Amaj9         Asus2      Em9
And eve_rything is as   it was
                   Em6add9 Em
Frozen in front of me     
    Amaj9         Asus2
Here     I stand, six  feet small
Em9                Em6add9 Em
Romanticizing years       ago
              Amaj9
But it's a bitter  sweet feeling
        Asus2                           Em9     Em6add9 Em
Hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio

[Pre-Chorus]
    Dmaj9 Amaj9
And these days 
Asus2 Dmaj9      Amaj9
I     wish I was six  again
              Asus2 Dmaj9 Amaj9
Oh, make me a red              cape
Asus2 Dmaj9      Amaj9
I     want to be Superman

[Chorus]
Oh,
               Am7add11              D7add13 Gadd11/D
if only my life        was more like nine___teen____ eighty
     Am7add11 D7add13
three
Gadd11/D                Am7add11
        All these things        would be
               D7add13 Gadd11/D
More like they were    at      the start of me
Am7add11           Cmaj9        Dmaj9
        Heaven made     in eighty three

[Verse 2]
     Amaj9          Asus2
Thinking  a_bout my brother, Ben
  Em9             Em6add9 Em
I miss him eve_ry day    
        Amaj9              Asus2
He looks     just like his brother, John
       Em9               Em6add9 Em
But on an eighteen month delay
    Amaj9         Asus2
Here     I stand, six  feet small
Em9                          Em6add9   Em
And smiling 'cause I'm scared       as hell
     Amaj9
Kind of   like my life is like a sequel to a movie
                 Em9
Where the actor's   names have changed,
oh well
          Dmaj9 Amaj9
Well these      days 

[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2 Dmaj9      Amaj9
I     wish I was six  again
             Asus2 Dmaj9 Amaj9
Oh, make me a      red        cape
Asus2 Dmaj9      Amaj9
I     want to be Superman

[Chorus]
Oh,
               Am7add11              D7add13 Gadd11/D
if only my life        was more like nine___teen____ eighty
     Am7add11 D7add13
three
Gadd11/D                Am7add11
        All these things        would be
               D7add13 Gadd11/D
More like they were    at      the start of me
Am7add11 D7add13
Gadd11/D          Am7add11
        If my life        was more like
D7add13 Gadd11/D            Am7add11 D7add13
nine___teen____ eighty three
Gadd11/D             Am7add11
        Plot a course        to the source of the
   D7add13 Gadd11/D     Am7add11 D7add13 Gadd11/D
purest little part of me

[Bridge]
C#m                    F#7            C#m
   And most my memories   have escaped   me
                           F#7
Or confused themselves with   dreams
B   Bm7                 Esus4
 If heaven's all we want     it to be
          E7
Send your pray_ers to me
Care of nineteen eighty three

Re_____place the shutters but
Am9          D7add13        D7
   That's my plastic in the dirt
Am9 D7add13 D Dadd9 D

   When came the day    that it got   thrown away
D   Dadd9 D        Am9                       D7add13
And don't you think   I should have had some say    in

that  decision?

  If   only my life
