[Chorus]
Am C
I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Am G
Some day, these will be the good old days
Am C
All the love you won’t forget
Am G
And all these reckless nights you won’t regret
Am C
Someday soon, your whole life’s gonna change
Am G
You’ll miss the magic of these good old days

[Verse]
C
I was thinking about the band
C
I was thinking about the fans
G
We were underground
G
Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van
Am
In a small club in Minnesota
Am
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
F
I just wanted my name in a star
F
Now look at where we at
C
Still growing up, still growing up
G
I’d be laying in my bed and dream about what I’d become
Am
Couldn’t wait to get older, couldn’t wait to be someone
F
Now that I’m here, wishing I was still young
F
Those good old days

[Verse]
C
Wish I didn’t think I had the answers
C
Wish I didn’t drink all of that glass first
G
Wish I made it to homecoming
G
Got up the courage to ask her
Am
Wish I would’ve gotten out of my shell
Am
Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf
F
Wish I wouldn’t have worry about what other people thought
F
And felt comfortable in myself
C
Rooftop open and the stars above
G
Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love
Am
Me, you and that futon, we’d just begun
F
On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was
F
Those good old days

[Verse 3: Macklemore & Kesha]
C
Never thought we’d get old, maybe we’re still young
G
May we always look back and think it was better than it was
Am
Maybe these are the moments
F
Maybe I’ve been missing what it’s about
C
Been scared of the future, thinking about the past
G
While missing out on now
Am
We’ve come so far, I guess I’m proud
F
And I ain’t worried about the wrinkles around my smile
C
I’ve got some scars, I’ve been around
G Am F
I’ve thrown some pain, I’ve seen some things, but I’m here now
F
Those good old days

[Bridge]
Cm G
You don’t know what you’ve got
Cm G
Till it goes, till it’s gone
Cm G
You don’t know what you’ve got
Cm G
Till it goes, till it’s gone
