[Verse]
        G
It's so hard to say goodbye
     Bm
So I promise not to cry
    F
But any tears that might be shed
    C
Are only tears of joy
      G
And I thank my lucky stars
     Bm
That we've come so very far
F
Rising up against the odds
   C
To where we are today


[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
Though there may be sadness
G         D/F#    Em
Let's all raise a glass
D         C
Cheers to us
               D
And all that's past


[Chorus]
            G
To the good old days
                   Em
When the world was new
                   C
When we still believed
                 D
Dreams could come true
                G
To the good old days
               Em
And to all our friends
                 Bm
May the memories last
               C  D
May they never end

G


[Verse]
         G
So we'll go our separate ways
        Bm
Wishing somehow we could stay
F
Safe again, so safe again
   C
In all our innocence
        G
When we all would sing along
        Bm
As they played our favorite song
F
Dreaming of tomorrows
   C
It seemed so limitless


[Pre-Chorus]
   Cm
So as we come together
      G         D/F#   Em
Let's make this moment last
D         C
Here's to us (yeah, here's to us)
           D
And to the past


[Chorus]
                G
To the good old days
                Em
To the sweetest years
               C
To the ones we loved
                      D
Through the laugh and tears
              G
To the times ahead
              Em
May we all forgive
                Bm
To the good old days
              C  D
Long may they live

G


[Bridge]
Am                       G
Funny how the years have slipped away
Am                      G
Always there beyond our grasp
Em                     Am
Funny how it all seems looking back
    D
Oh, whoa

[Verse]
                G
To the good old days
                 Em
When we all were young
               C
To the love we shared
                 D
May our songs be sung
              G
To the times ahead
              Em
May we all forgive
                Bm
To the good old days
                C  D
May they always live
C  D
Ooh
