[Intro]
D F#m A

[Verse 1]
            D       F#m
Chasin’ the feeling
                       A
Of sneakin’ out in the evening,

Wastin’ the daytime
  F#m
Until the night comes
A
Makin’ excuses
When we got too drunk

[Chorus]

 Bad days turning good
 into not enough
A
 Can’t wait for the problems
 that I don’t want
D                   F#m
 Worst case we just blame
 it on growin’ up
A
 Can’t have it all, might as
                      D F#m
 well just do too much (oh yeah)

 Can’t have it all, might as

 well just do too much (too much)
A
 Can’t have it all, might
 as well just do too much
