G      F  
My friends would help me when I got stuck
C      G
Played Mario for hours and hours
I was in awe of the graphics on the SNES
I loved the fold out maps in Nintendo power

Am     F
Mom often watched me play
Am      G
She drew maps of the zelda dungeons
I was never bored or lonely
Cause games were my best friends

C      G
The internet didn't exist back then
Am      F
But we had the Konami code
No checkpoints continues
No saving oh no no
You'd pause the game and leave it
Or you'd start from beginning
But all this only made it sweeter
So much bigger when you were winning

We were on a family vacation
This was before the gameboy hit
I begged dad to leave early
So I could play the games I got for Christmas

I loved text adventure games
Just typing in commands
Using your imagination
To be whisked away to far off lands

E7  
Games nowadays just aren't the same
Am
And I may sound like an old fart
 F
But I miss the challenge and I miss the torture
D
Of having to start back from the start
But then again maybe it's just
A different thing these days
The kids love minecraft with the same devotion
We loved all of our old games
