Tom: D
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
