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)
