1.           I think I'm going back

                 F                                            C

    to the things I learned so well in my youth.

        C

    I think I'm returnin' to

                F                                                                    C

    those days when I was young enough to know the truth.

 

                 Am                              Em

Now there are no games to only pass the time,

                Am                                 C

no more electric trains, no more trees to climb.

                       F                      G               C

But thinking young & growin' older is no sin,

      F                       G                   C

and I can play the game of life again.

2. I can recall the time,

                  F                                                    C

    when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend.

       C

    Now I think I've got

        F                                            C

    a lot more than just my toys to lend.

 

                      Am                                   Em

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide,

                 Am                           C

but every day can be a magic carpet ride.

    F                G             C

A little bit of courage is all we lack,

       F                      G          C

so catch me if you can I'm going back.

 

   F                G - C                                       F                 G    - C
