Verse:
          A
Once in a while

I act like a child

To feel like a kid again
   D
It gets like a prison in
    A               E
The body I'm living in
                A
Cause everyones watching
               C#m
Quick to start talking
              F#m
I'm losing my innocence
     D
Wish I were a little girl
    A                       E
Without the weight of the world
 
 
Chorus:
            A
It would be nice
         C#m    F#m
To start over again
  D            A
Before we were men

I'd give, I'd bend
     E
Lets play pretend

Remember the time

We had soda for wine
              F#m
And got by on gratitude
    D
The worst they could do to you
A                   E
Was check your attitude
                           A
Yeah, when fights were for fun
                C#m
We had water in guns
                     F#m
And a place we could call our own
D
How we lost hold of home
A                    E
I guess I'll never know

            A
It would be nice

  D            A
Before we were men
     E        F#m
I'd give, I'd bend
     E        A
Lets play pretend
    C#m          F#m
And when its the end
    D               A
Our lives will make sense
      E           F#m
We'll love, we'll bend
     E
Lets play pretend

With nothing to show for them

Stop taking lives, come on
A                   E
Let's all grow up again
 
 
Chorus:
            A
It would be nice
         C#m    F#m
To start over again
  D            A
Before we were men
     E        F#m
I'd give, I'd bend
     E        A
Lets play pretend
    C#m          F#m

Yeah I was debating between the two for awhile! You think it'd be easier to tell. With the track I'm pretty sure it's D, because that's what the bass note is, but playing without the track I do agree that E does sound better. I'll just leave it up to personal preference I guess! Thanks for the rating and comment! Much appreciated! :)

Hey, great tab :P Thanks for updating ver 1! but I think at the intro it's actually a A C#m F#m E, not A C#m F#m D... and the interlude too! (:
