A Dbm D E
[Verse 1]
A
And all these sad yound men
Dbm
paraiding through their lives

the girls that they have loved have now
A E
become expensive wifes
[Verse 2]

They think they know it all
Dbm
and in some ways they do
D
they're reaching out for better times

if they only knew
[Chorus]
A
These are the good old days
D Bm
this is the best time of my life

the best I've ever known

and it won't ever be the same again

These are the good old days

and when my clothes are out of style
[Próxima Parte]

and life is slowing down

I'll know what I have done

While all this sad young men

go marchin' up to walk

the old men shake their heads and say

But how are they to know

lessons take so long

and by the time they found the answer

life is almost gone

and life is slowing down

I'll know what I have done
