[Verse 1] 
EB I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB The fat kid with the big, blue eyes full of wonder
F#G#mEBF#G#m No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF# Without a care at all
EB I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder
F#G#mEBF#G#m Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF# It doesn't matter if I fall
 [Chorus] 
E G#m F# C#mE G#m F# I wish I was younger
E G#m F# C#mE G#m F# I wish I was younger
 [Verse 2] 
EB I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB Barbies and fashion shows with my brother
F#G#mEBF#G#m So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF# Where did all that magic go?
EB I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades
F#G#m 4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
EBF# Classic Mario
EB I remember charades, your braids, my first date
F#G#m Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid
EBF# Do you remember those days?
EB I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB Getting high with my friends outside in the summer
F#G#mEBF#G#m Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m We had it all
 [Chorus] 
E G#m F# C#mE G#m F# I wish I was younger
E G#m F# C#mE G#m F# I wish I was younger
E G#m F# C#mE G#m F# I wish I was younger
 [Verse 3] 
EB I wish I was younger
F#G#mEB Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number
F#G#m You smiled and said, "You're funny"
EBF#G#m Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
EBF#G#m I swear, we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
 [Outro] 
EBF#G#m Do you remember making out in the stands?
EBF#G#m Showing up late and getting kicked out of bands?
BF#EB Poor Mr. Kafer never could understand
EF# Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EBF#G#m Do you remember riding home in the rain?
EBF#G#m That Sunday morning, playing songs about Jane?
BF#EB And from that moment I was never the same
EF# Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EF# Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
EF#B
