Ataris – Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start Acoustic chords

I figured this out to an acoustic recording of him doing it live on youtube. Sounds about right.


Dtoday was a good day.
BmI didn't even have to use my a.k.
Aat least I didn't get my heart broken anyway
Gwasting time in east new jersey.
Dguess I could tell you 'bout the snow covered rooftops,
Bmsunsets, shooting stars and picturesque backdrops.
Aor how I went and hung out at quick-stop
Gand pretended that I was in clerks.

(chorus)
F#m                 Gsometimes you gotta stop and remember
D                   Athat your not gonna live forever.
F#        G            Abe young, think smart, stay true
and just follow your heart.
(Interlude & Bridge)
D, A, Bm, G)

(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  (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.
(interlude/outro)Repeat
Dand everything is o.k.
Aand everything is o.k.
Bmand everything is o.k.
Gand everything is o.k.
