A C#m F#m E
If I were a few generations younger who would know
D C#m Bm E
What I'd like and what I'd do, my taste in music, taste in clothes
A C#m F#m E

E D E
It's time to go back in time and come run away with you
A F#m D E
And I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
A F#m D E
I would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
A F#m D E
Maybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
A F#m D E

I take your hand, you'd be mine, and in my car at the drive-in
D D/C# Bm E
The radio is all we need to feel alive
A A/G# F#m E
Build a rocket ship and fly into the moon and never come back
D D/C# Bm E
I'll see you on the edge of the galaxy as we run on for miles
