Capo 2
There were Dlean times, they were Gtough
There were Dmean times they were Grough
And the Dgood times didn't outweigh the Abad
I was Dsad, you were Gbitter
But Dyou were no Gquitter
When Dnothin' was Aall that we Dhad

We were drinkin' a lot
We were thinkin' of tyin' the know
Or maybe throw in the towel
Make up, have a kid
Break up and we did
But only just for awhile

Chorus 1:
GThen came lo mein and Dgoing insane
At the DChinese cafe way downAtown
I was Gsteamed, I was fried but you Dstood by my Bmside
When I Dhad my Anervous breakDdown

There were noodles galore
All over the floor
And hot mustard sauce everywhere
But I held your hand
Til you calmed down again
And picked out the rice in your hair

After that we agreed
When in fact what we need
Is to pack up and take the first plane
Take a bus, take a bike
Take care, take a hike
Take out but leave the lo mein

Chorus 2:
I remember it now when we order kung pao
And bow our heads to say grace
The day we left town and that nervous breakdown
At the all-you-can-eat Chinese place

At the Chinese cafe way downtown
