Cm                       Gm
I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
A#                          G#
Time will bring them back I bet
Cm                        Gm
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
A#                   G#
Don't make me feel ashamed

  Fm
I used to sing the saddest songs
         Gm
And while in the meantime roaches used
to climb my door
G#                A#
Falling back down to the floor
   Fm
I used to read survival guides
        Gm
When my world was full of seven legged cats
     G#              A#
But here a I am with eight more lives

Chorus:
    Cm
I'm ready for the good times
    A#
I'm ready for the good times
Gm              G#
Ready to get it on
    Cm
I'm ready for the good times
    A#
I'm ready for the good times
Gm               G#
Now that I'm not alone

Cm
Oh oh oh oh
Gm
Oh oh oh oh
G#
Oh oh oh oh
A#
You know it
Cm
Oh oh oh oh
Gm
Oh oh oh oh
     G#
You better not
A#
Ignore it

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines
While someone does my nails
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail

'Cause every day there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose - nevermind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone

Chorus:
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone

'Cause every day there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose - nevermind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone

Chorus:
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone

Ah, ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
you know it
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah, ah, ah
You better not
ignore it
