Younger

                E      B
I wish I was younger
F#                     G#m       
The fat kid with the big, blue 
               E      B
eyes full of wonder
F#         G#m                   
No shame, no fame, no worries, 
    E             B     F#       
the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, 
G#m
oh-oh-oh)
E                  B       F#
Without a care at all
              E      B
I wish I was younger
F#                    G#m   
Keeping track of the lightning 
                      E     B
strikes and the thunder
F#          G#m                E
Barely thirteen, no hurry, my 
             B     F#     
feet over the wall (oh, oh, 
   G#m
oh-oh-oh)
             E          B    F#
It doesn't matter if I fall


[Chorus]
                    E G#m F# C#m 
I wish I was younger
 E G#m F#

                    E G#m F# C#m 
I wish I was younger
 E G#m F#



[Verse 2]
               E      B
I wish I was younger
F#            G#m                
Barbies and fashion shows with my
   E      B
 brother
F#            G#m             
So clear, no fear, no bullies, I 
     E           B    F#        G#m
didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
           E              B    F#
Where did all that magic go?
                   E              
I remember third grade, shades, new 
B
rollerblades
F#                G#m
4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
E       B    F#
Classic Mario
             E                    
I remember charades, your braids, my
B
 first date
F#                            G#m
Working at the pool, barely ever 
getting paid
E           B         F#
Do you remember those days?
                E      B
I wish I was younger
   F#                  G#m        
Getting high with my friends 
              E       B
outside in the summer
   F#              G#m       
Never cool, never had a lot of 
               E             B    
money, but damn we had it all (oh,
  F#      G#m
 oh, oh-oh-oh)
E          B   F#  G#m
We had it all


[Chorus]
                    E G#m F# C#m 
I wish I was younger
 E G#m F#

                    E G#m F# C#m 
I wish I was younger
 E G#m F#

                    E G#m F# C#m 
I wish I was younger
 E G#m F#



[Verse 3]
               E      B
I wish I was younger
F#                 G#m           
Butterflies in my chest when I 
               E   B
asked for your number
F#              G#m
You smiled and said, "You're funny"
     E              B        F#  
Two words and I was gone (oh, oh,
    G#m
 oh-oh-oh)
     E              B        
You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, 
F#      G#m
oh-oh-oh)
             E            B       
I swear, we set off the alarm (oh,
F#      G#m
 oh, oh-oh-oh)


[Outro]
E        B             F#       
Do you remember making out in 
    G#m
the stands?
E           B                 F#
Showing up late and getting 
            G#m
kicked out of bands?
B          F#          
Poor Mr. Kafer never could 
E          B
understand
E                           F#
Just take me back to who I was when 
I was younger
E        B             F#       
Do you remember riding home in 
    G#m
the rain?
E              B               
That Sunday morning, playing 
F#        G#m
songs about Jane?
B              F#            E  
And from that moment I was never
      B
 the same
E                           F#
Just take me back to who I was when 
I was younger
E                           F#
Just take me back to who I was when 
I was younger
E                           F#   
Just take me back to who I was 
                  B
when I was younger
