Intro: C
 
Verse:
C             Em
I wish it was 2004
                                      Am
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                G
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       C                          Em
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Am
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           C7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
F                             G
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Am     G
I know you think
F       C7
it’s all in my head
F        G
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Am            Am
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    G                   G
for someone to come and take me away
F                  G                 C
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
C                                   Em
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Am
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 G
    and I still don’t know
              C                                  Em
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Am
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     C7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
F                             G
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Am     G
I know you think
F       C7
it’s all in my head
F        G
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Am            Am
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    G                   G
for someone to come and take me away
F                  G
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Am                       G
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    F
and I can not complain
    G
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Am                          G                     F
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    G
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
C
I, I wish it was it 2004
Em
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Am
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
C7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
F                             G
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Am     G
I know you think
          F  C7
that it’s all in my head
      F            G
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Am            Am
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    G                   G
for someone to come and take me away
F                  G
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Am            Am
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    G                   G
for someone to come and take me away
F                  G               C
and say we’re going back to 2004
