[Chorus]
AmI wish somebody would have Ctold me, babe
AmSome day, these will be the Ggood old days
AmAll the love you Cwon't forget
AmAnd all these reckless nights you Gwon't regret
AmSomeday soon, your whole life's Cgonna change
AmYou'll miss the magic of these Ggood old days
[Verse]
CI was thinking about the band
CI was thinking about the fans
We were underGground
GLoaded merch in that 12-passenger van
In a small Amclub in Minnesota
AmAnd the snow outside of 1st Ave
I just Fwanted my name in a star
FNow look at where we at
CStill growing up, still growing up
I'd be Glaying in my bed and dream about what I'd become
Couldn't wait to get Amolder, couldn't wait to be someone
Now that I'm Fhere, wishing I was still young
FThose good old days
[Chorus]
AmI wish somebody would have Ctold me, babe
AmSome day, these will be the Ggood old days
AmAll the love you Cwon't forget
AmAnd all these reckless nights you Gwon't regret
AmSomeday soon, your whole life's Cgonna change
AmYou'll miss the magic of these Ggood old days
[Verse]
Wish I Cdidn't think I had the answers
Wish I Cdidn't drink all of that glass first
Wish I Gmade it to homecoming
Got up the Gcourage to ask her
Wish I would've Amgotten out of my shell
Wish I put the Ambottle back on that shelf
Wish I Fwouldn't have worry about what other people thought
And felt Fcomfortable in myself
CRooftop open and the stars above
GMoment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love
AmMe, you and that futon, we'd just begun
FOn the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was
FThose good old days
[Chorus]
AmI wish somebody would have Ctold me, babe
AmSome day, these will be the Ggood old days
AmAll the love you Cwon't forget
AmAnd all these reckless nights you Gwon't regret
AmSomeday soon, your whole life's Cgonna change
AmYou'll miss the magic of these Ggood old days
[Verse]
Never thought we'd get Cold, maybe we're still young
May we always Glook back and think it was better than it was
Maybe these are the Ammoments
Maybe I've been Fmissing what it's about
Been scared of the Cfuture, thinking about the past
While missing out on Gnow
We've come so far, I guess I'm Amproud
And I ain't Fworried about the wrinkles around my smile
I've got some Cscars, I've been around
I've thrown some Gpain, I've seen some Amthings, but I'm here nFow
FThose good old days
[Bridge]
CmYou don't know Gwhat you've got
CmTill it goes, Gtill it's gone
CmYou don't know Gwhat you've got
CmTill it goes, Gtill it's gone
[Chorus]
AmI wish somebody would have Ctold me, babe
AmSome day, these will be the Ggood old days
AmAll the love you Cwon't forget
AmAnd all these reckless nights you Gwon't regret
AmSomeday soon, your whole life's Cgonna change
AmYou'll miss the magic of these Ggood old days

[Verse]

I was thinking about the band

I was thinking about the fans

We were underground

Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van

In a small club in Minnesota

And the snow outside of 1st Ave

I just wanted my name in a star

Now look at where we at

Still growing up, still growing up

I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become

Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone

Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young

Those good old days

[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]

Wish I didn't think I had the answers

Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first

Wish I made it to homecoming

Got up the courage to ask her

Wish I would've gotten out of my shell

Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf

Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought

And felt comfortable in myself

Rooftop open and the stars above

Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love

Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun

On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was

Those good old days

[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]

Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young

May we always look back and think it was better than it was

Maybe these are the moments

Maybe I've been missing what it's about

Been scared of the future, thinking about the past

While missing out on now

We've come so far, I guess I'm proud

And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile

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

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

[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
