There were [D] lean times, they were [G] tough
There were [D] mean times they were [G] rough
And the [D] good times didn't outweigh the [A] bad
I was [D] sad you were [G] bitter
But [D] you were no [G] quitter
When [D] nothin' was [A] all that we [D] had

We were drinkin' a [G] lot
We were [D] thinkin' of tyin' the [G] knot
Or [D] maybe throw in the [A] towel
Make [D] up have a [G] kid
Break [D] up and we [G] did
But [D] only [A] just for a-[D]while

[G] Then came lo mein and [D] going insane
At the Chinese cafe way down-[A]town
I was [G] steamed I was fried but you [D] stood by my [Bm] side
When [D] I had my [A] nervous break-[D]down

There were noodles ga-[G]lore
All [D] over the [G]floor
And [D] hot mustard sauce every-[A]where
But [D] I held your [G] hand
til [D] you calmed down a-[G]gain
And [D] picked out the [A] rice in your [D] hair

After that we a-[G]greed
When in [D] fact what we [G] need
Is to [D] pack up and take the first [A] plane
Take a [D] bus take a [G] bike
Take [D] care take a [G] hike
Take [D] out but [A] leave the lo [D] mein

I [G] remember it now when we order kung [D] pao
And bow our heads to say [A] grace
The [G] day we left town and that [D] nervous break-[Bm]down
At the [D] all-you-can-[A]eat Chinese [D] place [G]
At the [D] Chinese [A] cafe way down-[G]town. [D]
