Standard (EADGBE)

Same when I left you now the same upon return

As your pages flip over you seem to let them burn

You drink from the bottle that sole your friend

Your friend your friend

Now the seasons they come and they go

I watch the blossoms as the bees take their own

I peer through the water that floods my eyes

My eyes my eyes

I want you in my life I feel I need you in my life

 but I can’t have you not tonight

Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days

I watch our children as they play in the sand

Speaking those words that only you can understand

I know inside of you, you feel that they are gold

You know there’s time they are not yet old

They want you in their lives I feel they need you in their lives

 but they can’t have you not tonight

Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days

I hope these things they come alive inside you and you recognise

I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night

I see you standing with each child and laughing as you feed their smiles

I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night

Because we, we need you in our lives – Because we, we need you in our lives

Because these days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in

These days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in
