[Chorus]
D
I wish somebody would have told me, babe
G
Some day, these will be the good old days
Bm A G
All the love you won't forget
F#m G
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
D G
Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Bm A G
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
[Verse 1]
D
I was thinking about the band
I was thinking about the fans
G
We were underground
Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van
D
In a small club in Minnesota
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
G
I just wanted my name in a star
Now look at where we at
D G
Still growing up, still growing up
Bm
I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become
D G
Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone
Bm G
Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young
D
Those good old days
[Chorus]
D
I wish somebody would have told me, babe
G
Some day, these will be the good old days
Bm A G
All the love you won't forget
F#m G
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
D G
'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Bm A G
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
[Verse 2]
D
Wish I didn't think I had the answers
D
Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first
G
Wish I made it to homecoming
Got up the courage to ask her
D
Wish I would've gotten out of my shell
Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf
G
Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought
And felt comfortable in myself
D G
Rooftop open and the stars above
Bm
Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love
D G
Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun
Bm A G
On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was
D
Those good old days
[Chorus]
D
I wish somebody would have told me, babe
G
Some day, these will be the good old days
Bm A G
All the love you won't forget
F#m G
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
D G
'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Bm A G
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
[Verse 3]
D
Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young
G
May we always look back and think it was better than it was
D
Maybe these are the moments
Maybe I've been missing what it's about
G
Been scared of the future, thinking about the past
While missing out on now
D G
We've come so far, I guess I'm proud
Bm
And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile
D G
I've got some scars, I've been around
Bm G
I've felt some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now
D
Those good old days
[Bridge]
D
(woah-oh, woah-oh) You don't know
G
(woah-oh, woah-oh) what you've got
D
(woah-oh, woah-oh) Till it goes
G
(woah-oh, woah-oh) Till it's gone
D
(woah-oh, woah-oh) You don't know
G
(woah-oh, woah-oh) what you've got
D
(woah-oh, woah-oh) Till it goes
G
(woah-oh, woah-oh) Till it's gone
[Chorus]
D
I wish somebody would have told me, babe
G
Some day, these will be the good old days
Bm A G
All the love you won't forget
F#m G
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
D G
Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Bm A G
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
