[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am]
[D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Looking
back on [D]when I [Am]was a little [D]nappy- headed [Am]boy[D][Am][D]
[Am]Then my only [D]worry [Am]was for Christmas w[D]hat
would [Am]be my [D]toy[Am][D][E]
Even though [F#]we sometimes
[Bm]would not get [D]a thing[E]
We were happy [F#]with the [D]joy
the day would [E]bring
I [Am]wish those

[Verse 2]
days could
come back once more
Why did those days [D]ever have to go?
I wish those [Am]days could
come back once more
Why did those [D]days [Am]ever have
to [D]go?[Am]
[D][Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Am]Sneaking out [D]the back door [Am]to hang out with
those [D]hoodlum friends [Am]of mine[D][Am][D]
[Am]Greeted at [D]the backdoor [Am]with, "Boy,
thought I told you not [D]to go out[Am]side"[D][Am][D][E]
Tryin' your best [F#]to bring the
[Bm]water to your [D]eye[E]s
Thinking it might [F#]stop her from
[D]whoopin' your be[E]hind
[Am]I wish those

[Verse 4]
days could
come back once more
Why did those days [D]ever [Am]have to go[D]?
I wish those [Am]days could
come back once more
Why did those days [D]ever have to go?
'Cause I [Am]love them so

[Verse 5]
[E]
[D]Smo[Am]kin' cigarett[D]es and[Am] writing something
[D]nasty [Am]on t[D]he wall[Am][D]
[Am]Teacher sends [D]you to [Am]the principal's
[D]office down [Am]the hall[D][Am][D][E]
You grow up and [F#]learn that
[Bm]kind of thing ain't [D]right[E]
But while you were do[F#]ing it,
[Bm]it sure felt outta sight
[E]I wish those day[Am]s could
come back once more
Why did those days [D]ever [Am]have to go?[D]
I [Am]wish those days could
come back once more
Why did those [D]days [Am]ever [D]have to[Am]

[Interlude 1]
go?

[Verse 6]
I wish those [Am]days could
come back once more
[D]Why did those day[Am]s eve[D]r have to go?
[D]I wish those day[Am]s could
come back once more
[D]Why did[Am] those days eve[Bm]r have to go?
I love them so
