Standard (EADGBE)

You used to write my name

 On the back of your notebook

All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars

But lately it would appear

 That you found yourself a black magic marker

Just to make absolutely sure

 That no one ever thought

 That you'd take it that far

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days

 Well here we go again now, here we go again now

You used to write me those

Funny little letters

In a language ours and ours alone

I gave my "Catcher in the Rye"

 For your "Cats Craddle"

And I gave my "White" for your "Abby Road"

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days

 Well here we go again now, here we go again now

Truck tires, trash fires

Face first, through the wire

Adios, Au'revoir

I see now what I never saw

No more pet names, postcards and picture frames

Adios, Au'revoir

I see now that I never saw

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days

 It's been a good year for, bad days

 Or a bad year for, good days yeah
