D#                      G
Heartstrung, young and dumb
          G#
Yeah, we had no fear
D#                G
Way back when we said
             G#
We'd both be millionaires
D#                 G
Now those days are over
    G#           D#
And we are all ghosts

D#
We used to sleep all day and talk all night
G              G#              D# G D#
Stay up by the TV light (oh, oh)
D#
When your baby teeth ain't milky white
 G                 G#                      D# G D#
Wipe the stardust from your eyes (oh, oh)
       D#
I said "oh come on love, we'll be just fine
             G                  G#
We're gonna live just like it's 1999"

      In 1990
D# G G#
      In 1999

D# G G#
      In 1999

Back then we were trading
Cards behind the swings
Oh no, now it's money, gold, and diamond rings
Now those days are over
And we are all ghosts

We used to sleep all day and talk all night
Stay up by the TV light (Oh, oh)
When your baby teeth ain't milky white
Wipe the stardust from your eyes (Oh, oh)
I said "oh come on love, we'll be just fine
We're gonna live just like
it's nineteen-ninety-nine"

Chorus

D#
Oh, oh no, where does it go?
 G                      G#
Well whatever fill your body up with chemicals
D#
Oh, oh no, kaleidoscopes
G                          G#
Well whatever living better in

Chorus

D#
Nintendo, Atari
G        G#
Sega's my Ferrari
D#                    G
I got it, I love it, I, I
G#
In 1999
D#
Got Sony electronics
G          G#
Voodoo economics
D#                    G
I got it, I love it, I, I
G#
In 1999
