Chords used:

Intro

 The way we’re living

makes no sense

 Take me back to the

 age of innocence

I want to go back then

 Take me back to the

 age of innocence

Back to the age

 of innocence

Interlude

Verse 1

 When flaws were fixed

 by laws and books

 When singers wrote

 songs instead of hooks

 When the value wasn't

in the price

 When the fight for life

was in the civil right

 When you couldn't live

 life through a screen

 When everything you knew

 was as good as it seems

 When the only worry was

 the concept of sin

 When did it begin?

Chorus

 I wonder if I could

 go back to old Hollywood

 When presidents dropped

blonde bombshells

 Instead of creating

 the perfect hell

 The way we’re living

makes no sense

 Take me back to the

 age of innocence

I want to go back then

 Take me back to the

 age of innocence

Back to the age

of innocence

Interlude

Verse 2

 When pharmaceuticals weren't

 there to make life beautiful

 When the way that we were born

 was more than suitable

 When everybody thought that

 they could make a difference

 And you couldn't get your

(hold)

fix within an instant

(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude

G#m--C#m--F#--Ebm x2

Bridge

 I wanna get older

 Don't wanna fight my age

 Now take me back

 to the simpler days

 I wonder how it all happened

 I wanna get older

 Don't wanna fight my age

 Don't wanna be the prey

 to the scalpel's blade

 Now please tell me please

 tell me, whatever happened

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Bridge)
