Verse (continue acoustic strummed power chords):
B5 F#5 A5 E5
When I was young I had imaginary friends
B5 F#5 A5
And boy did we have fun
B5 F#5 A5 E5
One day my mother told me they were just pretend
B5 F#5 A5
And then I had no one
B5 F#5 A5 E5
Building castles out of dirty, smelly sand
B5 F#5 A5
And baking in the sun
B5 F#5 A5 E5
Hear the sound of the popsicle man
B5 F#5 A5
And we’d run run, run, run, run, run, run
Pre-Chorus (power chords):
E5
And my life is like a movie
B5
Everyone is going slow
E5
There’s a crazy cast of characters
B5
None of which are real at all
A5 E
And I cannot feel you anymore
E
No, no, no, no, no-oh (pause)

verse 2 (bass only):
B5 F#5 A5 E5
In the summer we would spend the night outside
B5 F#5 A5
In the comfort of our own backyards
B5 F#5 A5 E5
Then we got older and went our separate ways
B5 F#5 A5
And everything got haaaard
Chorus (just acoustic strummed):
B5 C#m5 E5
Look at me, I’m getting older,
B5 C#m5 A5
Look at me I know
B5 C#m5 E5
Look at me, I’m getting older,
B5 C#m5 A5
Look at me I know
