[Intro]
G N.C.
(You really want those Ice Cubes, don't you?)
[Verse 1]
G D Em
Heard your voice for the first time in a long time and ever since then I've been
C
having nightmares
G D Em C
My teeth keep falling out of my gums every night and not even Super Glue will help them
stay there
G D Em
And every time I call you up, just kidding, that is something I would never ever, ever,
C
ever do
G D Em C D
You are a 14-year-old, I am your parents, you hate me more than I hate you
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm Em
And I know you're desperate for a little escape and sometimes it takes whole weeks to
numb the pain
C D Bm Em
A little self-help never hurt nobody, but nobody ever self-helps like me
[Chorus]
C D Em G
Gotta hold on to the good times, at least for a while, 'cause the good times seem to go
real fast
C D Em
The bad times have been around for years, they've got a rent-controlled apartment in the
G
back of my head
C D Em G
And I don't think they're leaving anytime soon, they love the amenities, love the view
C D Em G
They trash the joint at least once a week, the security deposit won't cover these things
C D G N.C.
But I think they stopped caring a long, long time ago
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
You got a flat on your way down to Austin in your Honda Civic, now you're calling triple
A
G D Em C
But there's a wait time, a couple hours and I'm so sorry I had to go and ruin your whole
day
G D Em C
I am the wind that ruins your hair, when you are walking to class in the morning
G D Em N.C. C N.C. D
Easily preventable, laughably so, you saw all the signs, you saw all the warnings
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm Em C
And I know you like to blame everything on me, took me a while to figure that one out
D Bm Em
Spent a couple months whining and screaming but now you're by yourself
[Chorus]
C D Em G
Gotta hold on to the good times, at least for a while, 'cause the good times seem to go
real fast
C D Em
The bad times have been around for years, they've got a rent-controlled apartment in the
G
back of my head
C D Em G
And I don't think they're leaving anytime soon, they love the amenities, love the view
C D Em G
They trash the joint at least once a week, the security deposit won't cover these things
C D G N.C.
But I think they stopped caring a long, long time ago
[Bridge]
C D Em
But maybe I'll catch you in Denver or maybe I won't
C D G Em
Maybe I could send you a postcard I'd think you like, you'll tell me that you don't
C D Em
Maybe I'll see you in Denton, but probably not
C D G Em
Maybe I could tell you some very nice things, but I think that I forgot them
C D Em
I keep saying that I'll see you around, but I never do
C D G Em
I keep trying to think of nice things to say, but all I can think of is fuck you
[Instrumental]
C D G N.C.
[Chorus]
C D Em G
Gotta hold on to the good times, at least for a while, 'cause the good times seem to go
real fast
C D Em
The bad times have been around for years, they've got a rent-controlled apartment in the
G
back of my head
C D Em G
And I don't think they're leaving anytime soon, they love the amenities, love the view
C D Em G
They trash the joint at least once a week, the security deposit won't cover these things
C D G
But I think they stopped caring a long, long time ago
