Figured it out before I'm a teen

Humming along the washing machine

A                         C
  Come on out, I've got a secret
                  A
Time will let you in
                                C
And if you want, you can have a secret
                  A
Time will let you through

   I knew it then, I knew it well
             C                     D
Like a pilot diving down a wishing well
            A

It's gotta feel good, it's gotta feel good

Sucking a slurpee for ultimate power

It's gotta feel good

       D/F#          G             D/F#
You're fighting your back when you feel
      G
like a coward
     D/F#  G                     D/F# G
It's gotta feel good, it's gotta feel good
