[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
[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
[Outro]
D7/F# F G F
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
