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