I want to open up my lunch-box
                             D
And find a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in there
               C                               Bm
Just like when I was six years old and someone loved me

Oh, loved me, oh loved me like I love

Bum bum bum...

                        C               Bm
I would grow up to feel lonely, to feel lonely

Oh, love me like I love

Bum bum bum...
