Going back (video)

G ~

G F C G

1. I think I’m going back to the thing I learned so well in my youth.

G F

I think I’m returning to all those days

C G

when I was young enough to know the truth.

Em Bm

Now there are no games to only pass the time,

Em G

no more electric trains, no more trees to climb.

C G

Thinking young and growing older is no sin,

C G

and I can play the game of life to win.

G F C G

2. I can recall a time when I wasn’t ashamed to reach out to a friend,

G F C G

and now I think I’ve got a lot more than just my toys to lend.

Em Bm

Now there’s more to do than watch myself go cry,

Em G

and every day can be my magic paradise.

C G

And I can play hide and seek with my fears,

C G

and live my days instead of counting my years.

+ G - C - G - C - C - G

Em Bm

+ Let everyone debate the true reality,

Em G

I’d rather see my world the way it used to be.

C G

A little bit of courage is all we lack,

C G

so catch me if you can, ‘cause I’m going back.

+ G - C

G G C

+ I’m going back, not just sitting, walking away.

G - G C

Yes, I’m going back, going back to my youth,

G G

I’m going back, I’m going back.

C

Going back to my youth, come on catch me,

G G

‘cause I’m going back, I’m going back.
