Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 4 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Climbing the ladder to make a dime
Wondering how I can make up for lost time
Don't be a fool
It's always boring inside the rules
It'd be a good time, to make the best of your day.
Remember way back when
I think about it every now and then
It was fun to be a kid
Now the time was wasted, heaven forbid
It'd be a good time, to make the best of your day.
Time is running fast
You get what you get, got to make it last
No matter what the cost
You can't regain, what you have lost
Take it from someone who's tried
When your hair turns grey
And you telling stories, think of what you'll say
One thing's the truth
You will never regain your youth
It'd be a good time, to make the best of your day.
