[Verse]
C                  C/G             F
I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
C            C/G             F
Tearfully nostalgic for them days back in '69
C                  C/G             Am           F               C
When the world was all just me and Paul playing football in the street
           C/G           F
And Winnie Cooper was my love

C                  G                F
I'm watching Jerry Springer make me sick
   C          G               F
As America is throwing chairs again and I'm sitting in mine
C              G                 Am
It was you and me versus crappy TV
            F                       C
Apathetic together and glued to the screen
     G                    F               Am
Just wasting each other's time alone with you

[Refrain]

G         F
I feel my world is starving
Am                      G        F
There's a metric ton of Easy Mac in my soul
Am    G             F
Oooo, you know it's not The Matrix
Am                         G/B        G       C
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here

[Interlude]
C   F   Am  G
C   F   Am  G

C        F          Am              G
Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine
C  F          Am            G
Fifteen years old, oh god I ached for you
C       F          Am                 G
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
C        F             Am
All that honey-colored air
D7/F# F   G             C    C/G  F
Ooohh-kay, let's not be weird
      C  C/G  F
Not be weird

[Verse]
    C              G               F
I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
C              G            F
Squandering my wonder years away as the credits roll by
C             G                    Am
This isn't my life, that wasn't my day
                     F                       C
Nor was Daniel Stern dictating what I should say
         G              F
I've been waiting for my line
                   Am
God I feel so far away

[Refrain]
G         F
I feel my world is starving
Am                      G        F
There's a metric ton of Easy Mac in my soul
Am    G             F
Oooo, you know it's not The Matrix

Am                         G/B        G       C
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here

C   F   Am  G

C        F          Am              G
Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine
C  F          Am            G
Fifteen years old, oh god I ached for you
C       F          Am                 G
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
C        F             Am
All that honey-colored air

Ooooo-kay, I swear it's not too late to jump out of planes
                           Em
And go soaring against the sky
             F                   G         Am
I don't know why it's cool to be anti-everything
          D7/F#             F
When everything has left us here
           G           Am              D7/F#           F
Where everyday is so unclean, a Jell-O mold of mud and beer
          G                 Am                D/F#         F
I want to take you way back where the sun was honey in the air
            G              Am            D7/F#          F
Let's hurry up and leave today before we both just slip away
          G
It'll be okay
