A   Bm    G   A  ** do this the whole way through until the bridge.
The same old story 
A girl meets a boy 
And they fall in love too fast 
But there's nobody 
Who can reason with you 
Before that sensation comes to pass 
And you say you're in for the long haul 
But your action's provin' otherwise 
Boy, you don't have a leg to stand on 
It's the same shit every time 
We've been havin' hard times 
Livin' off the old times 
Make believin' everything is fine 
Yeah, we've been havin' hard times 
But I think it's 'bout time 
That we make a change and do it right 
Bridge:
C   D    G
Baby, I've been tryin' to be patient 
But it's getting kind of hard 
Because you're makin' me pick up the slack 
And you've been good at lovin' me 
But there is more that goes into it 
Than just all of that 
A        Bm     G    A
You've been havin' hard times 
But I think it's about time 
That we make a change and do it right

A Bm G A ** do this the whole way through until the bridge.

The same old story

A girl meets a boy

And they fall in love too fast

But there's nobody

Who can reason with you

Before that sensation comes to pass

And you say you're in for the long haul

But your action's provin' otherwise

Boy, you don't have a leg to stand on

It's the same shit every time

We've been havin' hard times

Livin' off the old times

Make believin' everything is fine

Yeah, we've been havin' hard times

But I think it's 'bout time

That we make a change and do it right

Bridge:

C D G

Baby, I've been tryin' to be patient

But it's getting kind of hard

Because you're makin' me pick up the slack

And you've been good at lovin' me

But there is more that goes into it

Than just all of that

A Bm G A

You've been havin' hard times

But I think it's about time

That we make a change and do it right
