Ron Pope – The Good Old Days (Guitar)

         C                G                D           Em  D
When the babies are grown up, and they’ve moved so far away

   C                      G                      D
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we’ll learn to be okay

     C                      G            D              Em  D
One day we’ll long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house

           C                 D               G
‘cause the good old days are happening right now.

   C             G           D                   Em D
I will remember you walking towards me in that dress,

     C            G               D
Long after I’ve forgotten my own name.

          C           G        D               Em  D
As every other thing about me cracks and fades away,

    C               G              D
The way I love you stays and stays and stays

         C                G                D           Em  D
When the babies are grown up, and they’ve moved so far away

   C                      G                      D
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we’ll learn to be okay

     C                      G            D              Em  D
One day we’ll long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house

           C                 D               G
‘cause the good old days are happening right now.

   C             G      D             Em D
I used to carry you 20 blocks upon my back,

      C                G                     D
Late nights when your shoes would hurt your feet.

          C             G            D                Em D
Seems a thousand lives ago, but the memories just as sweet,

         C                 G                      D
and you kept me safe from much worse things than glass out on the street.

         C                G                D           Em  D
When the babies are grown up, and they’ve moved so far away

   C                      G                      D
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we’ll learn to be okay

     C                      G            D              Em  D
One day we’ll long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house

           C                 D               G
‘cause the good old days are happening right now.

G/F#  Em          D                  C                G
May I get to wake beside you twenty thousand mornings more,

G/F#    Em              D             C                  G
May the only thing that we don’t have enough of soon be born,

G/F#   Em                 D          C        C/B    G    G/E D
May we live to love each other, even more than we do now, somehow

         C                G                D           Em  D
When the babies are grown up, and they’ve moved so far away

   C                      G                      D
To live their lives, only call sometimes, we’ll learn to be okay

     C                      G            D              Em  D
One day we’ll long for the chaos of this crowded, messy house

           C                 D               Em
‘cause the good old days are happening right now.

           C                 D               G
‘cause the good old days are happening right now.
