C Dm
I remember when there were only one-fifty of you
F G C
Well, technically one-fifty-one if you are counting Mew, but I digress
Dm
I guess I spent the best years of my little life
F G
Surfing Cinnabar Island to get 126 Revives
C Dm
And I miss the Pokémon Centre
F G
I miss its music too
C Dm
And the way that Snorlax looked like Lapras on water
F G C
Pokémon, what happened to you?
C Dm
In the old days, you only got one form of every kind
F G
I could name all the Gym Leaders, didn’t even have to try
C Dm
But now you’ve shown me Team Galactic and Dark and Steel and eggs
F G
Oh I want my Red and Blue back when Ditto wasn’t used for sex
C Dm
I miss the cycling road, don’t you know
F G
I miss the music too
C Dm
And I can’t believe you used to be in black and white
F G C
Pokémon, what happened to you
F C G
Now Legendary means nothing to me
F C G
Because one-of-a-kind creatures add up to over thirty
F C G
And I only want three choices for my Eevee
F C G
I don’t want a rival if his name is not Gary
F (one strum only, let ring)
And how the hell do you pronounce Sweecoon, Sooisine, Sweesign, Sooisoon, I don’t know
F C G
I miss holding down the A button when I thought it made it easier
F C G
I miss surfing to the truck and using Strength to try and move it
F C G
I miss watching my Charmander evolve into a Charmeleon
F C G
I don’t accept your Leaf Green, they’ll always be Red and Blue to me
C Dm
Yesterday, I dreamt I was surrounded by Unown
F G
They spelled the words “We're sorry on behalf of Nintendo
C Dm
We don’t get Poffins either, and SuperContests are so-so
F G
And the Pokédex was fine, it didn’t need a radio”
C Dm
I miss the Team Rocket hideout
F G
And I miss the music too
C Dm
And why have shinies if they’re so impossible to find
F G C
Pokémon, what happened to you
F G C
Pokémon, what happened to you
C Dm
And I’ll never again experience that joy of mine
F G G G G C
Because you are incompatible with my brand new D-S-i
