1,2,3,4,5 years go by
GD
I don't really know why, I don't really know why
GC
7,8,9,11 years go by
GD
I don't really know why, I don't really know why
GCGD
I still feel the same way I did when I was 17
GCGD
I still look over my shoulder waiting for the world to change

GC
But these are the good old days
GD
These are the good old days
GC
These are the good old days
GD
And I think I'd like to stay
GCGD
Oh, I'd like to stay

GC
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years ago
GD
I didn't see a belly with a child on the inside
GCG
6, 7, 8, 10 years ago I thought I knew about love
D
I only knew about the fight
GCGD
I look back and I realize all those times I was lonely
GCGD
Praying for someday to hurry up and come and save me

But these are the good old days
GD
These are the good old days

These are the good old days

And I think I'd like to stay
GCGD
Oh, I'd like to stay

GC
And the moment you let go
GD
The faster the time goes
GC
The darker the night is
GD
The lighter the moon glows

GC
These are the good old days
GD
These are the good old days

GC
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years from now
G
I hope I’m still getting sown
D
Hope I’m still around
GC
But 6, 7, 8, 10 beers ago
G
I had a revalation
DG
All’s well right now
CG
It’s all good right now
DG
It’s all good right now
CGD
It’s all good right now

GC
(x3) But these are the good old days
GD
These are the good old days
GC

GD
And I think I'd like to stay
GCGD
Oh, I'd like to stay
