Intro: D Em C 

Verso 1:
 
              D 
I was just a boy 
          Em                 C 
Couldn't afford most of the toys 
                              D 
so we just hanged out in the streets 
                Em                         C 
'Girl, I don't dance, I just do the beats.' 

                     D 
Industrial neighborhood 
           Em               C 
I lived my life the way I could 
                            D 
my house was all painted in green 
        Em                  C 
I can't forget most of the scenes 

Ponte: 
                     Em 
because I'm getting old! 
          D             C 
I'm not a kid anymore 
            Em 
I'm getting old 
          D             C ( C ) 
I'm not a kid anymore

                  G 
I was born in the 80's 
                       D/F# 
that's why I sing this song 
                Em7 
my memories are faded 
                 C 
but they aren't gone 
                       G 
well I was born in the 80's 
                D/F# 
and I miss them too 
                    Em7 
I don't get totally crazy 
                C 
only because of you 

( D  Em  C ) 

            D 
I had a bike 
            Em              C 
I had a dog, his name was spike 
                                D 
we used to play ball all night long 
             Em            C 
we used to play hair metal songs 
                 D 
I bought a guitar 
         Em               C 
my tunes have taken me so far 
                             D 
I can't remember most of the nights 
               Em              C 
'cause of the vodka, lime and ice
