Ive Loved These Days

Tom: Dm

C   |  F/A   |  C/G  C7/G |  F


C                D/C            G/B
Now we take our time, so nonchalant
                Bb6             F
And spend our nights, so bon vivant
              C/F     Bb/F     F
We dress our days in silken robes
              C      A7/C#     Dm
The money comes, the money goes
              D     G/D D7   Gsus4  G  Dm/G  G 
We know it's all, a passing phase

C               D/C            G/B
   We light our lamps for atmosphere
              Bb6              F
And hang our hopes, on chandeliers
             C/F          Bb/F        F
We're going wrong, we're gaining weight
                C       A7/C#        Dm
We're sleeping long, and far too late
             D      G/D    D7      Gsus4 G
And so it's time to change our ways
Dm/G     G     Dm/G   C      F/A    C/G  C7/G  F
But I've loved these days

             D/C               G/B
Now as we indulge in things refined
              Bb6                F
We hide our hearts from harder times
              C/F     Bb/F       F
A string of pearls, a foreign car,
            C   A7/C#  Dm
Oh, we can only go so far
       D      G/D D7 Gsus4  G  Dm/G  G
On caviar and Cab-er-net

C                D/C              G/B
   We drown our doubts in dry champagne
                Bb6                F
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
             C/F    Bb/F      F
I don't know why, I even care
          C       A7/C#       Dm
We get so high and get nowhere
                 D       G/D D7  Gsus4 G
We'll have to change our jad-ed ways
Dm/G     G     Dm/G   C
But I've loved these days

[Instrumental]
C    |  D/C  |  G/B  |  Bb  |  F  | C/F  Bb/F |
  F  | C  A7/C# | Dm   | D  G/D D7 | Gsus4 G | Dm/G G

C             D/C             G/B
 So before we end, and then begin
               Bb6                  F
We'll drink a toast, to how it's been
            C/F    Bb/F    F
A few more hours to be complete
              C      A/C#       Dm
A few more nights on satin sheets
             D       G/D  D7  Gsus4  G
A few more times that I   can say
Dm/G  G      Dm/G  C
I've loved these days
