Intro: Eb
 
Verse:
Eb             Gm
I wish it was 2004
                                      Cm
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                Bb
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       Eb                          Gm
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Cm
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           Eb7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
Ab                             Bb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Cm     Bb
I know you think
Ab       Eb7
it’s all in my head
Ab        Bb
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Cm            Cm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Bb                   Bb
for someone to come and take me away
Ab                  Bb                 Eb
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
Eb                                   Gm
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Cm
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 Bb
    and I still don’t know
              Eb                                  Gm
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Cm
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     Eb7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
Ab                             Bb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Cm     Bb
I know you think
Ab       Eb7
it’s all in my head
Ab        Bb
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Cm            Cm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Bb                   Bb
for someone to come and take me away
Ab                  Bb
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Cm                       Bb
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    Ab
and I can not complain
    Bb
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Cm                          Bb                     Ab
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    Bb
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
Eb
I, I wish it was it 2004
Gm
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Cm
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
Eb7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
Ab                             Bb
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Cm     Bb
I know you think
          Ab  Eb7
that it’s all in my head
      Ab            Bb
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Cm            Cm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Bb                   Bb
for someone to come and take me away
Ab                  Bb
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Cm            Cm
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    Bb                   Bb
for someone to come and take me away
Ab                  Bb               Eb
and say we’re going back to 2004
