              Intro 
 
Em           Am          C 
  If I had a time machine, I would go back 
                         Em              Am 
Do it all over again, but I don't have a time machine 
   C 
So all I have left are these memories 
Em           Am          C 
  If I had a time machine, I would go back 
                         Em              Am 
Do it all over again, but I don't have a time machine 
   C 
So all I have left are these memories 
 
Verse 1: 
Em           Am 
  When I was younger, just a kid 
C 
All the days went by and I didn't give a shi 
        Em               Am                    C 
Get whatever I want, whenever I want was great 
 
Wow, I really miss those days 
Em     Am                               C 
Man, I wish those days can last forever 
 
'Cause suddenly all these weird stuff startin' to really matter 
       Em                       Am 
Like I gotta match my shoes and my outfit together 
    C 
Now life is all about money, and the more the better 
Em   Am 
Man, when did things all change? 
C 
 Whatever happened to the good old days? 
Em                Am 
Wow, we wanted to grow up so fast 
C 
 Why can't all of those good times last? 
     Em                              Am 
When life was much more than getting likes 
             C 
When you can find joy just by sitting on your bike 
                     Em                Am 
When a hug from your mom can make everything alright 
C 
 Wow, I really miss those days 
 
 
Em           Am          C 
  If I had a time machine, I would go back 
                         Em              Am 
Do it all over again, but I don't have a time machine 
   C 
So all I have left are these memories 
Em           Am          C 
  If I had a time machine, I would go back 
                         Em              Am 
Do it all over again, but I don't have a time machine 
   C

'Cause suddenly all these weird stuff startin' to really matter 
       Em                   Am 
Like I wonder if we fall in love will we stay together 
C 
Seems like nobody ever really makes it 'til forever 
Em       Am 
Man, and now my lifestyle's changed 
C 
 One day these will be the good old days 
Em            Am 
Yeah, no more growing up so fast 
C 
 We gotta make these good times last 
       Em                             Am 
'Cause life is much more than getting likes

'Cause one day, these will be our memories 
Em           Am          C
