[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…......
