C                Dm                   Dm7              G   C
Teenage gamblers sittin' in a Rambler listenin' to the radio
F   G    Am7                        C
And then standing in the grandstand following the gameplan
D7                      G7
Watching life's plays unfold
C                       Dm                  Dm7    G       C
You fell in love with a pretty cheerleader, I even married one
F   G  Am7                    C
And we once rode a cab out in Salt Lake City now
D7                      G7
Comin' up with "Fun Fun Fun"

[Chorus]
              C        Dm
They say that Brian is back
          Dm7           G     C
Well I've known him for oh so long
F    G   Am7      C
They say Brian is back
       D7                     G7
Well I never knew that he was gone
               C        Dm
Still they say Brian is back
  Dm7               G       C
I know he's had his ups and downs
     F    G   Am7      Em7
Well they say Brian is back
          Dm7               G7    C
But in my heart he's always been around

[Verse 2]
C                     Dm                                 Dm7           G         C
I still remember them soundin' sweet and tender singin' "Danny Boy" on Grandma's lap
F   G     Am7                       C
And those harmony highs could bring tears to my eyes
            D7                 G7
I guess I'm just a sentimental sap
 C                       Dm                Dm7            G       C
"Good Vibrations" caused such a sensation, not to mention ol' Pet Sounds
F   G  Am7                       C
And we traveled the world as the banners unfurled
              D7                  G7
I guess you'd have to say we got around

[Chorus]
              C        Dm
They say that Brian is back
          Dm7           G     C
Well I've known him for oh so long
F    G   Am7      C
They say Brian is back
       D7                     G7
Well I never knew that he was gone
               C        Dm
Still they say Brian is back
  Dm7               G       C
I know he's had his ups and downs
     F    G   Am7      Em7
Well they say Brian is back
          Dm7               G7    C
But in my heart he's always been around

[Instrumental]
C Dm Dm7 G C F G Am7 C D7 G7 (x2)

[Chorus]
              C        Dm
They say that Brian is back
C        Dm
Brian is back
              D        Em

Still they say Brian is back

But in my heart he's always been around
