D   Am7   G   D

[Verse 1]
    D
The good times we've had, the smiles and the laughs
        G                           D
Are the pictures that fill up these frames
     D
That hang in the halls and cover the walls
       A                       A7
Of the home where we spend our days
    G                                                D
And most times those good times are times that we're in
Em7                        A            A7
Even the tough times we'd walk through again


[Chorus]
           G
But in the mean time
               D
The holler and scream time
                   A
The crush all your dreams time
                 D       D7
The can't hardly breathe time
                   G
When faith gets forgotten
                 D
And hope falls behind
                  A                   G
The love that we had turns bitter and bad
        D
In the mean time

[Verse 2]
      D                                              D7
We've been through some years, some heartaches some tears
     G                          D
Some struggles like most people do
        D
We held on by a thread to the vows that we said
    A7                       A
And somehow we're still true blue
    G              D
At yesterday's end we were still friends
    Em              Em7              A           A7
And tomorrow might find us right back there again


[Chorus]
  A         G
But in the mean time
               D
The holler and scream time
                   A
The crush all your dreams time
                 D       D7
The can't hardly breathe time
                   G
When faith gets forgotten
                 D
And hope falls behind
                 A                    G
The love that we had turns bitter and bad
       D
In the mean time


[Outro]
           Am                    G
Help us outrun the damage we've done
       D             
In the mean time
       D
In the mean time
D   Am  G   D
