Verse:
          C
Once in a while
             Em
I act like a child
               Am
To feel like a kid again
   F
It gets like a prison in
    C               G
The body I'm living in
                C
Cause everyones watching
               Em
Quick to start talking
              Am
I'm losing my innocence
     F
Wish I were a little girl
    C                       G
Without the weight of the world


Chorus:
            C
It would be nice
         Em    Am
To start over again
  F            C      
Before we were men
     G        Am
I'd give, I'd bend
     G
Lets play pretend


Interlude:
C, Em, Am, F


Verse:
             C
Remember the time
                Em
We had soda for wine
              Am
And got by on gratitude
    F
The worst they could do to you
C                   G
Was check your attitude
                           C
Yeah, when fights were for fun
                Em
We had water in guns
                     Am
And a place we could call our own
F
How we lost hold of home
C                    G
I guess I'll never know


Chorus:
            C
It would be nice
         Em    Am
To start over again
  F            C      
Before we were men
     G        Am
I'd give, I'd bend
     G        C
Lets play pretend
    Em          Am
And when its the end
    F               C
Our lives will make sense
      G           Am
We'll love, we'll bend
     G
Lets play pretend


Interlude:
C, Em, Am, F  x2


Bridge:
                 C
Its not gonna be long
                 Em
Before we're all gone
                Am 
With nothing to show for them
F
Stop taking lives, come on
C                   G
Let's all grow up again


Chorus:
            C
It would be nice
         Em    Am
To start over again
  F            C      
Before we were men
     G        Am
I'd give, I'd bend
     G        C
Lets play pretend
    Em          Am
And when its the end
    F               C
Our lives will make sense
      G           Am
We'll love, we'll bend
     G        C
Lets play pretend
