EB
I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB
The fat kid with the big, blue eyes full of wonder
F#G#mEBF#G#m
No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#
Without a care at all
EB
I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB
Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder
F#G#mEBF#G#m
Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#
It doesn't matter if I fall
[Chorus]
EG#mF#C#mEG#mF#
I wish I was younger
EG#mF#C#mEG#mF#
I wish I was younger
[Verse 2]
EB
I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB
Barbies and fashion shows with my brother
F#G#mEBF#G#m
So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#
Where did all that magic go?
EB
I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades
F#G#m
4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
EBF#
Classic Mario
EB
I remember charades, your braids, my first date
F#G#m
Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid
EBF#
Do you remember those days?
EB
I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB
Getting high with my friends outside in the summer
F#G#mEBF#G#m
Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m
We had it all
[Chorus]
EG#mF#C#mEG#mF#
I wish I was younger
EG#mF#C#mEG#mF#
I wish I was younger
EG#mF#C#mEG#mF#
I wish I was younger
[Verse 3]
EB
I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB
Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number
F#G#m
You smiled and said, "You're funny"
EBF#G#m
Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m
You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m
I swear, we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
EBF#G#m
Do you remember making out in the stands?
EBF#G#m
Showing up late and getting kicked out of bands?
BF#EB
Poor Mr. Kafer never could understand
EF#
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EBF#G#m
Do you remember riding home in the rain?
EBF#G#m
That Sunday morning, playing songs about Jane?
BF#EB
And from that moment I was never the same
EF#
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EF#
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EF#B
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
