[A] [D#] [A] [B]
[A]
I think I'm going back to [Em] the things I loved so well [A] in my youth.
I think I'm returning to those [Em] days when I was young enough [A] to know the truth.
[F#m] Now there are no games to [C#m] hold that past the [C#m] time.
No [F#m] more clothes, no Christmas [A] bells to chime.
I [E] think the [Bm] younger [F#] growing [Bm] older [A] is no sin.
[E] And I can [D] play the game [A] of life to win.
I can recall the time when I [G] wasn't ashamed to [D] reach out [A] to a friend.
Now I think I've got a [Em] lot more than [D] a skipping rope [A] to lay.
Now [F#m] there's more to do than watch [C#m] my sailboat fly.
And [F#m] every day can be my magic [A] carpet ride.
[E] Then [Bm] I can play hide and seek with [A] my fears.
[F#] I [D] live my life, it's death that counts [A] when I'm here.
Let [G]
[A] [D] [A]
[G]
[A] [D] [A]
[F#m] everyone debate the true [C#m] reality.
I'd rather [F#m] see the world the way [A] it used to be.
A [Bm] little bit of freedom [D] [A] always lasts to [D] catch me if [F#] you zoom.
[E] I'm going home.
