[Verse 1]
If it [C]seems like I've been
[Dm]lost in [C]let's [Dm]remember[C]
If you think I'm feeling older and
[Dm]missing my [C]younger days
[Dm]Oh, [C]then you sho[F]uld have known me
much better
'Cause my [F]past is something
that never got in my [C]way[Dm][C]
Oh, [Dm]no[C]

[Verse 2]
Still I [C]would not be here [Dm]now
if I [C]never had the [Dm]hunger[C]
And I'm not ashamed to say
the [Dm]wild boys [C]were my friends
[Dm]Oh, [C]'cause I nev[F]er felt the desire
To let [F]music set me on fire
And then I was [C]saved, [F]yeah

We wore [C]matador boots
Only [Dm]Flagg Brothers [C]had them
with the Cuban [Dm]heel[C]
Iridescent socks with the [Dm]same color [C]shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
[Dm]Oh, [C]I put [F]on my shark skin jacket
You know the [F]kind with the velvet collar
And ditty bop [C]shades[Dm][C]
Oh, [Dm]yeah[C]

[Verse 4]
I took a [C]fresh pack of Luckies
And a [Dm]mint called [C]Sen-Sen[Dm][C]
My old man's Trojans
and his [Dm]Old Spice [C]after shave
[Dm]Oh, [C]combed my hair[F]
in a pompadour
Like the [F]rest of the Romeos wore
A permanent [C]wave, [F]yeah
We were keeping the [Em]faith
[F]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the [C]faith[C]

[Bridge 1]
You can [G]get just so [F]much from a [C]good thing
You can [G]linger too [F]long in your [C]dreams
Say good[G]bye to the [F]oldies but [C]goodies
'Cause the [Dm]good ole days weren't always good
And [G]tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

[Verse 5]
[C]Learned stickball
as a [Dm]formal edu[C]cation[Dm][C]
Lost a lot of fights
but it taught [Dm]me how to lo[C]se ok
[Dm]Oh, [C]I hear[F]d about sex
but not enough
I [F]found you could dance
and still look tough any[C]way[Dm]
[C]Oh, yes I [Dm]did[C]

[Verse 6]
I [C]found out a man
ain't [Dm]just being [C]macho[Dm][C]
Ate an awful lot of late night
[Dm]drive- in [C]food
Drank a lot of take [Dm]home [C]pay

In the Chevro[C]let, oh [F]yeah
We were keeping the [Em]faith

for the [Dm]whole [C]revi[Dm]val[C]
Now I'm going outside
to have an [Dm]ice cold [C]beer in the shade
