Intro: G
 
Verse:
G             Bm
I wish it was 2004
                                      Em
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                D
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       G                          Bm
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Em
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           G7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
C                             D
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Em     D
I know you think
C       G7
it’s all in my head
C        D
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Em            Em
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    D                   D
for someone to come and take me away
C                  D                 G
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
G                                   Bm
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Em
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 D
    and I still don’t know
              G                                  Bm
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Em
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     G7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
C                             D
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Em     D
I know you think
C       G7
it’s all in my head
C        D
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Em            Em
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    D                   D
for someone to come and take me away
C                  D
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Em                       D
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    C
and I can not complain
    D
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Em                          D                     C
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    D
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
G
I, I wish it was it 2004
Bm
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Em
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
G7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
C                             D
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Em     D
I know you think
          C  G7
that it’s all in my head
      C            D
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Em            Em
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    D                   D
for someone to come and take me away
C                  D
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Em            Em
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    D                   D
for someone to come and take me away
C                  D               G
and say we’re going back to 2004
