[A]
[G] [Em]
[A]
[Em]
[A] After these dreams I'm walking home, [Em] home where it used to be
[A] Everything is as it was, [Em] frozen in front of me
[A] Here I stand, six feet small, [Em] romanticized years ago
But [A] it's a bittersweet feeling hearing wrapped around the finger [D] of [Em] the radio
[D] And [A] these days,
[D] I wish [A] I was six again
Oh, make me [Bm] a [A] red cape,
[D] I wanna [A] be Superman
Oh, if only [Am] my life wasn't more [G] like 1983
[Am] [D] All [G]
[C#] these things [Am] would be more [G] like they were at the start of [Am] me
Had it [D] made in [A] 1983
Thinking
[G] [Em] [A]
about my brother Ben, [D] I miss [Em] him every day
But [A] he looks just like his brother John, [Em] but on an 18 month delay
[A] Here I stand, six feet small, [Em] and smiling cause I'm scared as hell
[A] Kinda like my life is [Em] like a sequel to a movie
Where the actors' [E] names have changed, oh [D] well
Well, these [A] days,
[D] I wish [A] I was six again
Oh, make me a red cape, [D] I wanna [A] be Superman
Oh, if only [Am] my life wasn't more [D] like [G]
1983
[Am] [G] All [Am] these things would be more [G] like they were at the start of [Am] me
[Bm] If [C]
[Am] my life wasn't [G] more like 1983
[Am] [G] The [Am] blood and course and the source [D] are just [G] a part [Am] of me
[G]
[C#m] And most of my [F#] memories have [C#m]
escaped me
They all confuse themselves [F#] with dreams
[B] [Bm] If heaven's all [E] we want it to be
Send your prayers to me, care of [Bm] [Em] 1983
[C] [G] [D] You
[A] [G] [A] [Am]
[D] [Am]
[C] [D]
[C] [D]
[Am] [G]
can paint that [D] house a rainbow of colors
[Am] [Em] Rip out the [D] floorboard, replace the shutters
[C] But that's [D] my last stick in the [Am] turn
[D] [Am]
Whatever [D] happens when my, whatever [Am] happens when my, [C] whatever [D] happens when my lunchbox
[C] When [Bm] came the day that it [Am] got thrown [D] away
And don't [Am] you think I should've had [D] some safe [Am] decision
[C] [D] If [Em] only my life
[D] If [Am] only my [D] life
If only [Am] my [C] life
[D] If [Am] only my [D] life
If only [F#] my [C] life
[D] [G] [Am] [Em] [Bm] [Am]
