i figured this out to an acoustic recording of him doing it live on youtube . sounds about right .
D
today was a good day .
Bm
i didn’t even have to use my A . k .
A
at least i didn’t get my heart broken anyway
G
wasting time in east new jersey .
D
guess i could tell you ’bout the snow covered rooftops ,
Bm
sunsets , shooting stars and picturesque backdrops .
A
or how i went and hung out at quick – stop
G
and pretended that i was in clerks .
( chorus )
F#m G
sometimes you gotta stop and remember
D A
that your not gonna live forever .
F# G A
be young , think smart , stay true
and just follow your heart .
( interlude & bridge )
D , A , Bm , G )
( repeat the patterns for verse & chorus )
remember the times we watched “karate kid”
and memorized every line
skipped school and went to the arcade
hung out and played galaga all day .
stole a car and we drove to michigan .
600 miles with no destination .
except to get in the car and drive
and see where we’ll end up .
( chorus )
sometimes you gotta stop and remember .
that your not gonna be young forever .
think smart , have fun , stay true
and don’t ever grow up .
( interlude 1/2 time part )
D , A , Bm , G ( repeat as desired )
( chorus )
out of all i’ve learned in life
you always keep your friends close to your heart .
’cause who will help you if you’re falling down .
( interlude/outro ) repeat
D
and everything is o . k .
A
and everything is o . k .
Bm
and everything is o . k .
G
and everything is o . k .
