[Verso 1]
 
       C                                 G7 
When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world. 
         C                       F 
It's the end of a world that you had with a girl. 
            E                      Am 
Though it's hard to admit that the memory's sad 
         C              A  D   G                    C 
when you think what you had, when a good thing goes bad. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E                          Am 
Love is so strange, it's a mystery to me. 
     D                     G                
It's easy to change and to lose what could be. 
       C            E             Am         F 
So you wait and you watch for the one who'll agree 
         C                           Em            G 
with the things that you need and the life that you lead.

[Verso 3]
 
       C                             G7 
When a good thing goes right, it's a joy beyond worth. 
       C                       F 
As the roots of your love intertwine with the earth. 
         E                          Am 
And your bodies are one, but you're living for two 
         C              A      D             G               C 
and your future looks bright, oh yes, when a good thing goes right. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
    E                          Am 
But time is the test, like the sea pounds the rocks. 
    D                             G                 
And those who love best sometimes fail with the shocks. 
        C               E             Am             F 
And the waves break you down and you watch your love drown. 
          C                        Em          G 
And she's so far from reach as you stand on the beach. 
 


[Verso 5]

When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world. 
         C                       F 
It's the end of a world that you had with a girl. 
            E                      Am 
Though it's hard to admit that the memory's sad 
         C              A  D   G                    C 
when you think what you had, when a good thing goes bad.
