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
