[Verse 1]
A
I've these dreams I'm walking home
Em
Home when it used to be
A
And everything is as it was
Em
Frozen in front of me
A
Here I stand, 6 feet small
Em
Romanticizing years ago
A
It's a bitter sweet feeling
Em
Hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And these days
D A
I wish I was 6 again
D A
Oh, make me a red cape
D A
I want to be Superman
[Chorus]
Am D
Oh, if only my life was more like 1983
Am
All these things would be
D Am
More like they were at the start of me
C D A
Heaven made in '83
[Verse 2]
A
Thinking about my brother, Ben
Em
I miss him every day
A
He looks just like his brother, John
Em
But on an 18 month delay
A
Here I stand, 6 feet small
Em
And smiling because I'm scared as hell
A
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
Em
Where the actor's names have changed, oh well
[Kembali ke Pre-Chorus dan Chorus]

Send your prayers to me

Care of 1983

You can paint that house a rainbow of colors

Rip out the floorboards

Replace the shutters but
D Am D
That's my plastic in the dirt

Whatever happened to my
Whatever happened to my
Am D
Whatever happened to my lunchbox?
Am D Am D
When came the day that it got thrown away
Am D Am D
And don't you think I should have had some say in that decision?
