[Verse 1]
A    C#m        F#m         EIf I were a few generations younger who would know
D        C#m               B               EWhat I'd like and what I'd do, my taste in music, taste in clothes
A           C#m             F#m                EPerhaps I'd meet a girl who likes the things I do and maybe more
D            C#m               B                EWe'd take my thunderbird for a summer trip down to the shore


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m  A      F#m      A       DHome-coming can only come so soon
     E          D                EIt's time to go back in time and come run away with you


[Chorus]
    A              F#m   D                      EAnd I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
A          F#m                 D              EI would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
A     F#m              D             EMaybe we could build a boat and sail across the sea
A              F#m               D                  EBut you're far away from me, not just by length but by an eternity


[Verse 2]
A     C#m                 F#m                  EI can see your face, your hair-sprayed hair ad polka-dotted dress
D     C#m                B                    EI got suspenders, got my thick-rimmed glasses and my hair's a mess
A             C#m               F#m                EBut you don't care, we just sip our milkshakes and theorize about the moon
D         C#m         B               EListen to Perry Como, I'd get jealous as you swoon


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m  A      F#m      A       DHome-coming can only come so soon
     E          D                EIt's time to go back in time and come run away with you


[Chorus]
A                  F#m   D                      EAnd I hope you are still alive, though it ain't 1955
A          F#m                 D              EI would be right there by your side, if I was born in '39
