(verse 1) 
A                D        A 
It was ten years ago last Sunday, 
      E                      A 
Feels like it was only yesterday, 
              D             A 
Some will say time drags on forever, 
        E           D                 A 
But for you and me, doesn't seem that way, 
 
A                              D       A 
Makin' real good time, you and I, here together, 
                 E                          A 
Since the day we met, it just keeps gettin better, 
                            D                     A 
Come rain or shine, had our share of all kinds of weather, 
             E       D                A    E - D - A 
We held it together, makin real good time, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
A                  D               A 
The way things are today, its just crazy, 
   E                          A 
So easy to get lost along the way, 
             D                 A 
We know just right where we're headed, 
            E       D               A 
And by your side is where I'm gonna stay, 

A                              D       A 
Makin' real good time, you and I, here together, 
                 E                          A 
Since the day we met, it just keeps gettin better, 
                            D                     A 
Come rain or shine, had our share of all kinds of weather, 
             E       D                A  
We held it together, makin real good time, 
A                              D       A     E - D - A 
Makin' real good time, you and I here together
