(Verse)
F#
Back in school,
B F#
I could never really pay attention actin’ a fool,
B
whenever I was told to listen,
F# B
I’m dreaming about the days,
F# B
before we stopped believing
(Pre-Chorus)
C# F# B C#
Take me back I’m talking way back
(Chorus)
F# C#
I want to go back to then, I want to go back to then
B
so take me back and let me see,
B
all the things life used to be,
F# C#
I want to go back to then, I want to go back to then
B
So take me back to living free
B
a calm collected younger me
F#
(Verse)
F#
No money to spend,
B
as a kid it never really mattered,
F#
chilling with my friends,
B
we would skate ‘till the morning after,
F#
we were dreaming,
B F# B
not a worry in the world, we had no reason
(Pre-Chorus)
C# F# B
Take me back I’m talking way back
C# F#
Take me back,
B
I want to go
(Chorus)
F# C#
I want to go back to then, I want to go back to then
B
so take me back and let me see,
B
all the things life used to be,
F# C#
I want to go back to then, I want to go back to then
B
So take me back to living free
B
a calm collected younger me
(BRIDGE)
F# B
Nowadays I stress about the small things,
F# B
when in the end I’m sure I'll be okay,
F# B
it just makes it hard when every one of my dreams,
F# B
somehow still feel so damn far away
(BREAK)
F# C# B C#
F# C#
I remember a time when everything was just fine,

before I had to figure it all out

I remember a time when everything was just fine,
B C#
before I had to figure it all out
