[Verse 1]
              F
Seems there's something
       C
in the air today
     G             F
It’s got me feeling,
     C           G
oh a certain way
           F
Seems like lately
          C
I've been on the run
     G             F
It's got me reeling
      C              G
every night I’m done
              F
Keep thinking what
        C
am I supposed to do?
   G          F       C
My body's not working like
           G
it used to
          F
And these pills
            C
keep piling up on me
G               F
Remember when I had
      C             Am G
no responsibilities

[Chorus]
                        F       C C G
Take me back when I was younger
                 F      C C G
When I was still hungry
        G               F       Am
Take me back when I was younger
                      G
Hey, got the world in my feet
     F            C
Just try and stop me
      C
(Just try and stop me)
        G               F       C C G
Take me back when I was younger

         F              C
Watching all my friends pass away
          G                F
When they promised me that they

field, around every single one of us
