[Verse 1]  
           D                     G
There were lean times, they were tough
            D                     G
There were mean times they were rough
          D                             A
And the good times didn't outweigh the bad
       D            G
I was sad you were bitter
      D            G
But you were no quitter
        D         A           D
When nothin' was all that we had
[Verse 2]
          D         G
We were drinkin' a lot
          D                     G
We were thinkin' of tyin' the knot
    D                  A
Or maybe throw in the towel
     D          G
Make up have a kid
      D          G
Break up and we did
      D    A        D
But only just for awhile
[Chorus 1]
G                      D
Then came lo mein and going insane
D                            A
At the Chinese cafe way downtown
        G                         D            Bm
I was steamed I was fried but you stood by my side
     D         A            D
When I had my nervous breakdown
[Verse 3]
 D                   G
There were noodles galore
    D          G
All over the floor
     D                     A
And hot mustard sauce everywhere
     D           G
But I held your hand
     D               G
til you calmed down again
      D             A            D
And picked out the rice in your hair
[Verse 4]
        D        G
After that we agreed
         D            G
When in fact what we need
        D                          A
Is to pack up and take the first plane
       D         G
Take a bus take a bike
      D          G
Take care take a hike
      D       A            D
Take out but leave the lo mein
[Chorus 2]
     G                       D
I remember it now when we order kung pao
     D                     A
And bow our heads to say grace
    G                         D              Bm
The day we left town and that nervous breakdown
        D           A           D
At the all-you-can-eat Chinese place
         D        A          G
At the Chinese cafe way downtown
