Ode To Kevin Arnold by Ludo
Ode To Kevin Arnold
Intro: C G F
C G F
I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
C G F C
Tearfully nostalgic for them days back in '69
C G Am F C
When the world was all just me and Paul playing football in the street
C G F
And Winnie Cooper was my love
C G F
I'm watching Jerry Springer make me sick
C G F
As America is throwing chairs again and I'm sitting in mine
C G Am
It was you and me versus crappy T.V.
F C
Apathetic together and glued to the screen
C G F Am
Just wasting each other's time, alone with you
G F Am C G F
I feel my world is starving, there's a metric ton of Easy Mac in my soul
Am G F
Oooo, you know it's not The Matrix
Am C G C
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here
C Am G F
Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine
C Am G F
Fifteen years old, oh god I ached for you
C Am G F
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
C Am G
All that honey-colored air
F G F C G F
Okay, let's not be weird (play C G F), not be weird
C G F
I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
C G F
Squandering my wonder years away as the credits roll by
C G Am
This isn't my life, that wasn't my day
F C
Nor was Daniel Stern dictating what I should say
C G F Am
I've been waiting for my line, God I feel so far away
G F Am C G F
I feel my world is starving, there's a metric ton of Easy Mac in my soul
Am G F
Oooo, you know it's not The Matrix
Am C G C
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here
C Am G F
Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine
C Am G F
Fifteen years old, oh god I ached for you
C Am G F
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
C Am G
All that honey-colored air
F G F
Okay, I swear it's not too late to jump out of planes
F G
And go soaring against the sky
F G Am
I don't know why it's cool to be anti-everything
G F
When everything has left us here
F G Am G F
Where everyday is so unclean, a Jell-O mold of mud and beer
F G Am G F
I want to take you way back where the sun was honey in the air
F G Am G F
Let's hurry up and leave today before we both just slip away
F G
It'll be okay

I'm watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
Tearfully nostalgic for them days back in '69
When the world was all just me and Paul playing football in the street
And Winnie Cooper was my love
I'm watchin' Jerry Springer make me sick
As America is throwing chairs again and I'm sittin' in mine
It was you and me watching crappy T.V., apathetic together and glued to the screen
Just wasting each other's time, alone with you
I feel my world is starving
There's a metric-ton of Easy Mac in my soul
You, you know it's not the Matrix
That's a movie and this is life we're wasting here
Do you remember the day I asked you to be mine
Fifteen years old, oh God I ached for you
And I remember the way the sun looked on your hair
All that honey-colored air, oh, oh Kate
Let's not be weird
Not be weird
I watching Kevin Arnold's Wonder Years
Squandering my wonder years away as the credits roll by
This isn't my life, that wasn't my day, nor was Daniel Stern dictating what I should say
I'd been waiting for my line, God I feel so far away
