[E]
I think I'm going back [A] to the things I learned [E] so well in my youth.
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth.
[C#m] Now there are no games [G#m] to only pass the time.
[C#m] No more electric trains, [G#]
[E] no more trees to climb.
[A] But thinking young and [B] growing older [E] is no sin.
[A] And I can play [E] the [B] game of life [E] to win.
I can recall a time [A] when I wasn't ashamed to [E] reach out to a friend.
Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend.
[C#m] Now there's more to do than [G#m] watch my sailboat die.
But [C#m] every day can be [F#] a [E] magic carpet ride.
[A] A little bit [E] of courage is all we lack.
[A] So catch me if [B] you can, [E] I'm going back.
