You know, everybody's talking about the good old days.
Everybody, shh, the good old [G] days, yeah.
Yeah, you too? _
Yeah.
[D] _ _ _ _ Well, let's talk about the good old days.
[G] You know, as _ bad as we think they are, these will become [D] the good old days for our children. _
_ _ _ And why don't [G] we, um, _ _ _ _ try to remember?
[Am] And _
_ [D] _ _ kind of [G] September when _ _ [Em] it was just _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [D] _ more [Bm] so mellow. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _
And _ [D] if you remember [Bm] then, _ _
[G] _ _ _ oh, why does [A] it seem that the past is always there?
We [D] look back and we think, the [G] rivers were warmer, _ _ the greener, _ [A] skies were bluer.

the [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] crystal sound _ _ _ _ of the _ smiles we left [Bm] behind, _
[B] _ smiles we [G] gave no one [C] else, _ _ _ _ [G] for the world to _ see.
[Dm] Oh, _ [D] _ _
_ [C] _ can it [Bm] be that it was all [Am] so simple then?
_ [Bm] _ _ Oh, has time rewritten every [E] line?
[Am] _ _
_ And if we had [C] the chance to [D] do it all again, [G] tell me, would [Bbm] we? _
