[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C] Now we take our [D] time so
[G] nonchalant
And spend our [Gm] nights so bon [F] vivant
We dress [C] our days [Bb] in silk and [F] rose
The money [C] comes, the [A] money [Dm] goes
We know [D] it's all a [C] passing [F] [G] phase
We [F] [G]
[C] light our [D] lamps for [G] atmosphere
And hang [Gm] our hopes [C] on
[F] chandeliers
We're going wrong, [Bb] we're gaining [F] weight
We're sleeping [C] long and [A] far too [Dm] late
And [D] so it's time [E] to [D] change our [A] [G] ways
[Dm] [G] But [F] I love [G]
[C] these days
[Am] Now [Dm]
[C] [F]
[C] as we [D] indulge in things [G] refined
We hide [Gm] our hearts [Bb] from harder [F] times
A string of pearls, [Bb] a foreign [F] car
Oh, we [C] can only [Db] go so [Dm] far
On [D] caviar [E] and [D]
[A] cabernet
[G] We [F] [G]
[C] drown our [D] doubts in dry [G] champagne
And soothe [Gm] our souls [C] with fine [F] cocaine
I don't know [C] why [Bb] I even [F] care
We'll get so [C] high and [Db] get nowhere
[Dm] We'll [D] have to change our [F] jaded [G] ways
[Dm] [G] But [Dm] I [G] love [C]
these days
[D] So [G]
[Gm] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Db] [Dm]
[D] [G]
[F] [G] [C]
before [D] we end and then [G] begin
We'll drink a [Gm] toast [C] to [F] how it's been
A few [C] more hours [Bb] to be [F] complete
A few more [C] nights on [A] satin [Dm] sheets
A [D] few more times that I can [C] [F] [G] say
I [C] love these days
[F] [Am] [Dm] [C]
[F] [C]
