Intro: Bb
 
Verse:
Bb             Dm
I wish it was 2004
                                      Gm
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                F
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       Bb                          Dm
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Gm
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           Bb7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
Eb                             F
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Gm     F
I know you think
Eb       Bb7
it’s all in my head
Eb        F
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Gm            Gm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    F                   F
for someone to come and take me away
Eb                  F                 Bb
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
Bb                                   Dm
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Gm
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 F
    and I still don’t know
              Bb                                  Dm
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Gm
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     Bb7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
Eb                             F
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Gm     F
I know you think
Eb       Bb7
it’s all in my head
Eb        F
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Gm            Gm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    F                   F
for someone to come and take me away
Eb                  F
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Gm                       F
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    Eb
and I can not complain
    F
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Gm                          F                     Eb
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    F
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
Bb
I, I wish it was it 2004
Dm
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Gm
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
Bb7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
Eb                             F
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Gm     F
I know you think
          Eb  Bb7
that it’s all in my head
      Eb            F
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Gm            Gm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    F                   F
for someone to come and take me away
Eb                  F
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Gm            Gm
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    F                   F
for someone to come and take me away
Eb                  F               Bb
and say we’re going back to 2004
