Chorus:
          G#      D#
It's unbelievable
            A#        Cm
This is as good as it gets
         G#       D#
It's unbelievable
                  A#            Cm
Don't know what's gonna happen next
         G#       D#
It's unbelievable
            A#            Cm
You haven't seen nothing yet
         Fm      G#
It's unbelievable
         A#       Cm
It's unbelievable

             G#             D#
When I was a kid I saved up all my dough
     A#         Cm
So I could buy C-3PO
    G#           D#
Put Mentos in my diet coke
       A#                Cm
In the back seat of the bus
             G#         D#
When I was a kid I ate Spaghetti-o's
       A#            Cm
Played laser tag and GI Joe's
    Fm               G#
And if you vowed "no girls allowed"
     A#                  Cm
Then you could join the club
             G#           D#
When I was a kid I spent my Saturdays
A#          Cm
Blowing on Nintendo games
    Fm               G#
The newest thing was Lion King
    A#                Cm
And I could feel the love

Chorus

When I was a kid I dreamed of Power Wheels
Stayed up late watching action films
And I won't lie, my friends and I,
were too legit to quit
When I was a kid I lived for climbing
trees and Dr Pepper jellybeans
My favorite part of "Jurassic Park"
was how real the Raptors looked
When I was a kid I still had VHS,
watched Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff,
Zack Morris owned the first cell phone,
it was off the hook!

Chorus

               G#              D#
Gak, Pogs and Floam and Home Alone
           A#                 Cm
Berenstain Bears and beanbag chairs
       G#                    D#
My LA Looks and Goosebumps books
           A#            Cm
Oh Etch a Sketch, what happens next?
G#           D#             A#
Grape Juicy Juice and Dr. Seuss
           Cm                Fm
Piggy back rides and slip n' slides
           G#                     A#
Mcdonald's fries, those were the best
     Cm
What happens next?


Chorus:
It's unbelievable
This is as good as it gets
It's unbelievable
Don't know what's gonna happen next
It's unbelievable
You haven't seen nothing yet
It's unbelievable, those were the days oh-oh

It’s unbelievable
When I think back I'm amazed
It’s unbelievable
Cause baby those were the days
It’s unbelievable
It ruled in so many ways
It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievable

(and I’m so amazed!)
(Those were the days!)
(Nananana nanananananana nananana nananana na)
