[Verse]
CI'm watching Kevin C/GArnold's Wonder FYears
CTearfully nosC/Gtalgic for them Fdays back in '69
CWhen the world was C/Gall just me and AmPaul playing Ffootball in the Cstreet
And Winnie C/GCooper was my Flove
CI'm watching Jerry GSpringer make me Fsick
As CAmerica is Gthrowing chairs Fagain and I'm sitting in mine
CIt was you and Gme versus crappy TAmV
Apathetic toFgether and glued to the Cscreen
Just Gwasting each other's Ftime alone with Amyou
[Refrain]
GI feel my Fworld is starving
AmThere's a metric ton of GEasy Mac Fin my soul
AmOooo, Gyou know it's Fnot The Matrix
AmThat's a movie and this is G/Blife we're Gwasting Chere

CDo you reFmember the Amday I asked you Gto be mine
CFifFteen years Amold, oh god I Gached for you
CAnd I reFmember the Amway the sun looked Gon your hair
CAll that Fhoney-colored Amair
D7/F#Ooohh-Fkay, Glet's not be CweirdC/G  F  
Not be CweC/GirdF  
[Verse]
I'm Cwatching Kevin GArnold's Wonder FYears
CSquandering my Gwonder years Faway as the credits roll by
CThis isn't my Glife, that wasn't my Amday
Nor was Daniel Stern Fdictating what I should Csay
I've been Gwaiting for my Fline
God I feel so far aAmway
[Refrain]
GI feel my Fworld is starving
AmThere's a metric ton of GEasy Mac Fin my soul
AmOooo, Gyou know it's Fnot The Matrix
AmThat's a movie and this is G/Blife we're Gwasting Chere

CAll that Fhoney-colored Amair
[Outro]
D7/F#Ooooo-Fkay, I swear it's not Gtoo late to jump out of Fplanes
And go soaring against the Emsky
I don't know Fwhy it's cool to be Ganti-everyAmthing
When everyD7/F#thing has left us Fhere
Where everyGday is so unAmclean, a Jell-O D7/F#mold of mud and Fbeer
I want to Gtake you way back Amwhere the sun was D/F#honey in the Fair
Let's hurry Gup and leave toAmday before we D7/F#both just slip Faway
It'll be oGkay

Where everyday is so unclean, a Jell-O mold of mud and beer
