[Verse 1]
D G There were lean times, they were tough D G There were mean times they were rough D A And the good times didn't outweigh the bad D G I was sad you were bitter D G But you were no quitter D A D When nothin' was all that we had
[Verse 2]
D G We were drinkin' a lot D G We were thinkin' of tyin' the knot D A Or maybe throw in the towel D G Make up have a kid D G Break up and we did D A D But only just for awhile
[Chorus 1]
G D Then came lo mein and going insane D A At the Chinese cafe way downtown G D Bm I was steamed I was fried but you stood by my side D A D When I had my nervous breakdown
[Verse 3]
D G There were noodles galore D G All over the floor D A And hot mustard sauce everywhere D G But I held your hand D G til you calmed down again D A D And picked out the rice in your hair
[Verse 4]
D G After that we agreed D G When in fact what we need D A Is to pack up and take the first plane D G Take a bus take a bike D G Take care take a hike D A D Take out but leave the lo mein
[Chorus 2]
G D I remember it now when we order kung pao D A And bow our heads to say grace G D Bm The day we left town and that nervous breakdown D A D At the all-you-can-eat Chinese place D A G At the Chinese cafe way downtown
