Back To Then

[Intro]
| C | G |

[Verse 1]
F Am
G            C
 Sounds like everyone's already talking about
             G
Where they'll be at five years from now
       F                                 G
But it never dawned on me how close that is
          C
And I know I'm not yet that old in age
           G
And I still have many years left to my name
           F                              G
Those years seem to go faster the older I get

[Pre-Chorus]
     F
Time marches on and it's a matter of time
         G                                     Am   G
'Fore we all get gone but I never realized how soon that
could be
F          Am           G        F
 And I know  it happens naturally
                   C
But if there was a fountain of youth

[Chorus]
You'd find me splashing around
                 G
Cause these years are flying
I can't hold them down
  Am
I swear if I could
I'd do it all again
        F
Take me back to then

[Verse 2]
C G F Am
G             C
 Well I'm glad I can't see what the future holds
       G
So it's a surprise as I get old
         F
And a mystery it is till the day I go
G         C
 Hopefully my best days are yet to be
          G
But I know those old days will be hard to beat
         F                                     G
Till then I'll sit back and just enjoy the show

[Pre-Chorus]
    F
The clock doesn't pause for anyone
            G
Just keep a living out your minutes
Till your days are done
       Am           G              F
No, it doesn't hold up for anything
          Am       G        F
Time just moves on naturally
                   C
But if there was a fountain of youth

[Chorus]
You'd find me splashing around
                 G
Cause these years are flying
I can't hold them down
  Am
I swear if I could
I'd do it all again
        F
Take me back to then
               C
If there was a rewind button like a TV set
       G
I'd be pressing that thing every chance I'd get
        Am
Just to make sure
                            F
I didn't miss something when
                       C
It took me back to then

[Pre-Verse]
G F Am G C
G F
Am G                   C
    But if there was a fountain of youth

[Chorus/Outro]
You'd find me splashing around
                 G
Cause these years are flying
I can't hold them down
  Am
I swear if I could
I'd do it all again
        F           C
Take me back to then
