Verse 1:
      Eb
I was thinking about the band
 
I was thinking about the fans
        Ab
We were underground
 
Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van
     Eb
In a small club in Minnesota
 
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
       Ab
I just wanted my name in a star
 
Now look at where we at
              Eb                Ab
Still growing up, still growing up
                    Cm
I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become
                     Eb                         Ab
Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone
             Cm                         Ab
Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young
               Eb
Those good old days
 
Chorus:
Eb
  I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Ab
  Some day, these will be the good old days
        Cm       Bb        Ab
All the love you won't forget
                       Gm                   Ab
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Eb                                         Ab
  'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Cm                Bb             Ab
  You'll miss the magic of these good old days
 
Verse 2:
              Eb
Wish I didn't think I had the answers
              Eb
Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first
Ab
Wish I made it to homecoming
 
Got up the courage to ask her
                Eb
Wish I would've gotten out of my shell
 
Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf
                    Ab
Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought
 
And felt comfortable in myself
        Eb                 Ab
Rooftop open and the stars above
       Cm
Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love
                 Eb                   Ab
Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun
       Cm               Bb                 Ab
On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was
                  Eb
Those good old days
 
Chorus:
Eb
  I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Ab
  Some day, these will be the good old days
        Cm       Bb        Ab
All the love you won't forget
                       Gm                   Ab
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Eb                                         Ab
  'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
Cm                Bb             Ab
  You'll miss the magic of these good old days
 
Verse 3:
      Eb
Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young
       Ab
May we always look back and think it was better than it was
        Eb
Maybe these are the moments
 
Maybe I've been missing what it's about
                   Ab
Been scared of the future, thinking about the past
 
While missing out on now
              Eb                  Ab
We've come so far, I guess I'm proud
            Cm
And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile
              Eb                   Ab
I've got some scars, I've been around
               Cm                                         Ab
I've felt some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now
                 Eb
Those good old days
 
Bridge:
Eb
-woah-oh, woah-oh- You don't know
 Ab
-woah-oh, woah-oh- what you've got 
Eb
-woah-oh, woah-oh- Till it goes
Ab
-woah-oh, woah-oh- Till it's gone 
Eb
-woah-oh, woah-oh- You don't know
 Ab
-woah-oh, woah-oh- what you've got 
Eb
-woah-oh, woah-oh- Till it goes
Ab
-woah-oh, woah-oh- Till it's gone
