(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+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.

D MajorD
and everything is o.k.
A augmentedA
and everything is o.k.

and everything is o.k.
