I think I'm going back to the things I learned so well in my youth 
 
                               A               Asus4  A                 E 
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth

          C#m/E                 G#m 
Now there are no games, to only pass the time 
         C#m/E                     E 
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb 
            A                 B               E   Esus4 E (Fig #1) 
But thinking young and growing older is no sin 
    A                   B              E  Esus4 E (Fig #1) 
So, catch me if you can, I'm going back

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide 
          C#m/E                   E 
But every day can be a magic carpet ride

If you choose, a regular C#m can be used without a big difference but I personally think  
that open E makes it sound closer.
