GG2GG2Verse 1:
GG2
Summer day 7 years old and I took a ride on my bicycle
GG2
I can still feel my face against the wind
G
a backpack full of my favorite toys
G2
Singing songs just to make some noise
GG2
Is a good way for a day to begin
A5
I remember when life was simple way back then
GG2A5C5D5
Now I'm trying to see through those eyes again, through those eyes
Chorus:
Cadd9Dsus4A7Em7
If I could turn back time I'd go to 1989
Cadd9Dsus4A7D
Where every day was full of chasin’ dreams
Cadd9Dsus4A7Em7
Yeah I may be grown up but maybe I should try
Cadd9A7
Livin’ like it’s 1989
Verse 2:
GGG2
Deep inside this Texas heart there’s an innocence underneath the scars
GG2
Waiting to be called outside to play
GG2
Wanna feel like a wide eyed kid, wanna put it all back into perspective
GG2
God You're great just because You're great
A5
It is so uncomplicated with You here,
GG2
with You here
A5C5D5
You make the person that I once was reappear, You reverse the years
Chorus
