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


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


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


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


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


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