Intro: Ab
 
Verse:
Ab             Cm
I wish it was 2004
                                      Fm
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                Eb
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       Ab                          Cm
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Fm
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           Ab7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
Db                             Eb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Fm     Eb
I know you think
Db       Ab7
it’s all in my head
Db        Eb
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Fm            Fm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Eb                   Eb
for someone to come and take me away
Db                  Eb                 Ab
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
Ab                                   Cm
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Fm
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 Eb
    and I still don’t know
              Ab                                  Cm
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Fm
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     Ab7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
Db                             Eb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Fm     Eb
I know you think
Db       Ab7
it’s all in my head
Db        Eb
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Fm            Fm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Eb                   Eb
for someone to come and take me away
Db                  Eb
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Fm                       Eb
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    Db
and I can not complain
    Eb
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Fm                          Eb                     Db
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    Eb
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
Ab
I, I wish it was it 2004
Cm
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Fm
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
Ab7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
Db                             Eb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Fm     Eb
I know you think
          Db  Ab7
that it’s all in my head
      Db            Eb
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Fm            Fm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Eb                   Eb
for someone to come and take me away
Db                  Eb
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Fm            Fm
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Eb                   Eb
for someone to come and take me away
Db                  Eb               Ab
and say we’re going back to 2004
