Intro: F
 
Verse:
F             Am
I wish it was 2004
                                      Dm
I wish my favorite bands were still on tour
                                C
I wish everything wasn’t so, so complicated
       F                          Am
and I, I wish that I was still as tall
                               Dm
as the markings on the kitchen wall
                                           F7
Wish I could gain back the confidence that they created
 
Chorus:
Bb                             C
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Dm     C
I know you think
Bb       F7
it’s all in my head
Bb        C
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Dm            Dm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    C                   C
for someone to come and take me away
Bb                  C                 F
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Verse:
F                                   Am
I, I never had it all quite figured out
                                    Dm
I never really learned what growing up was all about
 C
    and I still don’t know
              F                                  Am
And there are so many things that I wish I could say I’ve done
                   Dm
They say that time flies when you’re having fun
     F7
Does time only fly when you’re young
 
Chorus:
Bb                             C
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Dm     C
I know you think
Bb       F7
it’s all in my head
Bb        C
I'm crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Dm            Dm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    C                   C
for someone to come and take me away
Bb                  C
and say we’re going back to 2004
 
Bridge:
Dm                       C
    Looking back on it I know that I am fortunate
    Bb
and I can not complain
    C
The nerves, the stress, the total mess
 
It's all inside my brain
Dm                          C                     Bb
but growing up just makes me really really really scared
    C
And I don’t think that I’m prepared
 
Pre-Chorus:
F
I, I wish it was it 2004
Am
   I wish my childhood was still in store
Dm
   and I wish everything wasn’t so
F7
   so complicated
 
Chorus:
Bb                             C
Lately things haven’t been the best for me
Dm     C
I know you think
          Bb  F7
that it’s all in my head
      Bb            C
and I must be crazy for wondering what it’s all for
    Dm            Dm
but every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    C                   C
for someone to come and take me away
Bb                  C
and say we’re going back to 2000
      Dm            Dm
Yeah, every day I’m thinkin' of ways
    C                   C
for someone to come and take me away
Bb                  C               F
and say we’re going back to 2004
