-VERSE-
E riff 1
I'm a-gonna build myself a time machine
E riff 1
On particle physics and the power of steam
E riff 1 E riff 2 Dsus2
It runs on diesel oil and Donnie Darko daydreams
E riff 1
I'll pack a pair of socks and a hunting rifle
E riff 1
A change of underwear and some snacks and a trifle
E riff 1 E riff 2 Dsus2 F#5
Scared of going back you know how I'm forgetful
-CHORUS-
To go back and to see
The way things really used to be
F#m B5 E Dsus2 E riff 1
Not the way we remember them at all
E riff 1
E riff 1
E riff 3 Dsus2
-VERSE-
E riff 1
Packed up sat in my Delorean
E riff 1
Like some kind of amateur historian
E riff 1 E riff 3 Dsus2
I'll visit the Renaissance and the Romans, and the Victorians
E riff 1
Drinking in Deadwood in the 1880's
E riff 1
Rock and roll and drive through in the 1950's
E riff 1 E riff 2 Dsus2 F#5
Trying not to change things so the plotlines don't get shifty
-CHORUS-
To go back and to see
The way things really used to be
Not the way we remember them
To go back and to see
The way things really used to be
F#m B5 E Dsus2 Fmaj7>G6>Aadd9
Not the way we remember them at all
-BRIDGE-
Fmaj7 > G6 > Aadd9
Cause all you can recall
Fmaj7>G6 C. xxx G. xxx
You could tell to me false
What if everything were to change completely
If you just saw a reply of the crucial scenes
E E riff 1
From the passenger window of a time machine
E riff 1
E riff 1
E riff 4 Dsus2
-VERSE-
E riff 1 E riff 1
In truth the real reason that I built this here machine
Was just to travel back a couple of years
E riff 1 E riff 2 Dsus2
To when we first met before the fights and tears
E riff 1
To the time when you and I first got together
E riff 1
Simple days and simple words like forever
E riff 1 E riff 2 Dsus2 F#m
Dripped off our tongues come on you must remember
-OUTRO-
Let's go back and let's see
The way things really used to be
Before life quietly dismembered
All the best things about
you and I before the doubts
Drowned out all of the
Mirth and mercy come on, baby
E riff 1
Please you must remember
E riff 1 E riff 1
Please remember
E riff 2 Dsus2 E riff 1
I need you to remember
E riff 1
E riff 1
E riff 4
E riff 5
