 Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard

 Ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do

Bm              A          D                    G

 Man we were killing time we were young and restless we needed to unwind
F         Bb                 C                 D  A  D  A
 I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no!


D                              A
 And now the times are changin' look at everything that's come and gone
D                                          A

I think 'bout you; wonder what went wrong
Bm                 A           D                        G
  Standin' on your mama's porch you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm              AS         D                    G   
  Oh when you held my hand  I knew that it was now or never
Bm                A               D
  Those were the best days of my life
