Now, we take our time,
so non cha lant
and spend our nights
so bon vi vant.
We dress our days
in (Bb)silk en robes
The mon ey comes
the mon ey goes
we know it’s all
a (G)pass (D7)ing phase
So We light our lamps
for at mos phere
and hang our hopes
on chan de liers
We’re go ing wrong,
we’re (Bb)gain ing weight
We’re sleep ing long
and far too late
and so it’s time
to (G)change (D7)our ways
But I’ve (G6)loved (Dm)these (C)days.
Now as we in dulge
in things re fined
We hide our hearts
from hard er times.
A string of pearls,
a (Bb)for eign car
Oh we can on
ly go so far
on cav i ar
and (G)cab (D7)er net
So We drown our doubts
in dry cham pagne
and soothe our souls
with fine co caine
I don’t know why
I (Bb)e ven care
We get so high
and get no where
We’ll have to change
our (G)jad (D7)ed ways
But I’ve (G6)loved (Dm)these (C)days.
But I’ve (G6)loved (Dm)these
But I’ve (G6)loved (Dm)these (C)days.
