John Mayer - 83

[Intro]
C#m Bm C#m Bm

[Verse 1]
C#m
I’ve these dreams I’m walking home
Bm
Home when it used to be
C#m
And ev-ery-thing is as it was
Bm
Frozen in front of me
C#m
Here I stand, six feet small
Bm
Ro-man-ticizing years ago
C#m
But it’s a bit-ter-sweet feeling
Bm
Hearing “Wrapped Around Your Finger” on the radio

[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus2 C#m
And these days
Dsus2 C#m
I wish I was six again
Dsus2 C#m
Oh, make me a red cape
Dsus2 C#m
I wanna be Su-perman

[Chorus 1]
C#m
Oh, if only my life
Am7 D Am7 D
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
Am7
All these things would be more
D Am7
Like they were at the start of me
D C#m Bm
Had it made in eighty-three

[Verse 2]
C#m
Think-ing ‘bout my brother Ben
Bm
I miss him every day
C#m
He looks just like his brother John
Bm
But on an eighteen-month delay
C#m
Here I stand, six feet small
Bm
And smiling ‘cause I’m scared as hell
C#m (hold)
Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie
Bm (hold)
Where the actors’ names have changed, Oh, well

[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus2 C#m
And these days
Dsus2 C#m
I wish I was six again
Dsus2 C#m
Oh, make me a red cape
Dsus2 C#m
I wanna be Su-perman

[Chorus 2]
C#m
Oh, if only my life
Am7 D Am7 D
Was more like nine-teen eighty-three
Am7
All these things would be more
D Am7 D
Like they were at the start of me

[Chorus 3]
Am7 D Am7 D
If my life was more like nineteen eighty-three
Am7
I’d plot a course to the source
D Am7 D
Of the purest little part of me

[Bridge 1]
C#m F# C#m
And most my memories have escaped me
F#
Or confused themselves with dreams
B D E E
If hea-ven’s all we want it to be, Send your prayers to me
D7 C#m
Care of nineteen eighty-three

[Break]
Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D

[Bridge 2]
Am7 D
You can paint that house a rainbow of colors
Am7 D Am7
Rip out the floorboards, replace the shutters, but
D Am7 D
That’s my plastic in the dirt

[Outro]
Am7 D
Whatever happened to my, Whatever happened to my
Am7 D
Whatever happened to my lunchbox?
Am7 D
When came the day
Am7 D
That it got thrown a-way
Am7
And don’t you think I should have had
D Am7 D
Some say in that deci-sion?
Am7 D
If only my life

[Tag]
Am7 D
If only my life, if only my life………
