Intro: D
 
Verse:
D             Gbm
I wish it was 2004
                                      Bm
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                A
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       D                          Gbm
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Bm
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           D7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
G                             A
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Bm     A
I know you think
G       D7
it’s all in my head
G        A
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Bm            Bm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    A                   A
for someone to come and take me away
G                  A                 D
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
D                                   Gbm
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Bm
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 A
    and I still don’t know
              D                                  Gbm
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Bm
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     D7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
G                             A
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Bm     A
I know you think
G       D7
it’s all in my head
G        A
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Bm            Bm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    A                   A
for someone to come and take me away
G                  A
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Bm                       A
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    G
and I can not complain
    A
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Bm                          A                     G
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    A
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
D
I, I wish it was it 2004
Gbm
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Bm
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
D7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
G                             A
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Bm     A
I know you think
          G  D7
that it’s all in my head
      G            A
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Bm            Bm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    A                   A
for someone to come and take me away
G                  A
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Bm            Bm
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    A                   A
for someone to come and take me away
G                  A               D
and say we’re going back to 2004
