Standard (EADGBE)

today was a good day.

I didn't even have to use my a.k.

at least I didn't get my heart broken anyway

wasting time in east new jersey.

guess I could tell you 'bout the snow covered rooftops,

sunsets, shooting stars and picturesque backdrops.

or how I went and hung out at quick-stop

and pretended that I was in clerks.

(chorus)

sometimes you gotta stop and remember

that your not gonna live forever.

be young, think smart, stay true

and just follow your heart.

(Interlude & Bridge)

, , , )

(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)

(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

and everything is o.k.

and everything is o.k.

and everything is o.k.

and everything is o.k.
