[Intro]
F   Dm   Am   Am2x
[Verse 1]
FI wish I found some better Dmsounds no one's ever heard
AmI wish I had a better voice and sang some better words
FI wish I found some chords Dmin an order that is new
AmI wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
FI was told when I get Dmolder all my fears would shrink
But Amnow I'm insecure, and I care what people think
[Pre-Chorus]
My name's FBlurryface, and DmI care what you Amthink
My name's FBlurryface, and DmI care what you Amthink
[Chorus]
FWish we could Emturn back time Amto the Emgood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C.
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
AmWish we could Gturn back time Cto the Egood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C. F  Dm  
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
AmWe're stressed oFutDm  Am  Am  
[Verse 2]
FSometimes a certain smell will Dmtake me back to when I was young
AmHow come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
FI'd make a candle out of it, Dmif I ever found it
Try to Amsell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only ever sell one
FIt'd be to my brother 'Dmcause we have the same nose
Same Amclothes, home grown, the stones thrown from the creek we used to roam
FBut it would remind of when Dmnothing really mattered
Out of Amstudent loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter
[Pre-Chorus]
My name's FBlurryface, and DmI care what you Amthink
My name's FBlurryface, and DmI care what you Amthink
[Chorus]
FWish we could Emturn back time Amto the Emgood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C.
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
AmWish we could Gturn back time Cto the Egood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C.
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
[Bridge]
We Amused to play pretend, give each Gother different names
We would Cbuild a rocket ship and then we'd Efly it far away
Used to Amdream of outer space but now they're Glaughing at our face saying
"CWake up you need to make Emoney"
We Amused to play pretend, give each Gother different names
We would Cbuild a rocket ship and then we'd Efly it far away
Used to Amdream of outer space but now they're Glaughing at our face saying
"CWake up you need to make Emoney", yeah
[Chorus]
FWish we could Emturn back time Amto the Emgood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C.
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
AmWish we could Gturn back time Cto the Egood old days
Am   G   C   EN.C.
When our mommas sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out
[Outro]
We Fused to play pretend, used to Dmplay pretend, money
We Amused to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
FUsed to play pretend, used to Dmplay pretend, money
We Amused to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
FUsed to play pretend, give each Dmother different names
We would Ambuild a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to Fdream of outer space but now they're Dmlaughing at our face saying
"AmWake up you need to make money", yeah
