Standard (EADGBE)

[D/c]

Now we take our time so nonchalant

 And spend our nights so bon vivant

 We dress our days in silken robes

 The money comes the money goes

 We know it's all a passing phase

  [D/c]

We light our lamps for atmosphere

 And hang our hopes on chandeliers

 We're going wrong we're gaining weight

 We're sleeping long and far too late

 And so it's time to change our ways

But I've loved these days

  [D/c]

Now as we indulge in things refined

 We hide our hearts from harder times

 A string of pearls a foreign car

 Oh, we can only go so far

on caviar and Cabernet

[D/c]

We drown our doubts in dry champagne

 And soothe our souls with fine cocaine

 I don't know why I even care

 We get so high and get nowhere

 We'll have to change our jad-ed ways

But I've loved these days

Instrumental

- Same as Verses 1, 3 & 5

  [D/c]

So before we end and then begin

 We'll drink a toast to how it's been

 A few more hours to be complete

 A few more nights on satin sheets

 A few more times that I can say

I've loved these days
