[D]
I've been [G] thinking [D] [G] about my lifestyle
[D]
All [G] the [D] things I've done, [G] how it's been
I
[D] can't [G] help believing [D] [G] in my [D] own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see [G] it
[D] I've seen a lot of sunshine, [G] slept out in [D] the rain
Spent [G] a [D] night or two all [G] on my own
[D] I've known my lady's pleasures, [G] had myself [D] some treat
Spent the time or two in [G] my own home
I have to say it [A]
now, it's [D] been a good life [G] all in all
It's really [D] fine to [Bm] have a chance to [Em] hang around
[A] I've
[G] been there by [A] the fire, [D] I've been there in the [G] fire
While all [D] my friends, my [G] old [Bm] lady
Sit [Em] at the pass and fight her [A] vow
Talk [G] of poems and prayers [F#m] and promises
[Em] The things that we [D] believe in
How sweet it is to love someone, [G] how right you [A] can
[G] How long it's been [F#m] since yesterday
[Em] What about [D] tomorrow?
What about our dreams and [Em] all the memories [A] we share?
The [D]
[G]
[D] days they pass so quickly [G] now, by itself, so [D] long
Time [G]
[D] around me whispers [G] that it's cold
[D] Changes [G] somehow [D] frighten [G] me, still I have [D] to smile
It turns me on to think [G] of growing old
[D] Though my life's been good to me, [G] there's still so [D] much to do
So many things my mind's never [G] known
I'd [D] like to raise a family, [G] I'd like to sail [D] away
Dance across the mountains [G] on a boat
I have to say it [A] now, it's been a [D] good life all [G] in all
It's [D] really fine to have [Bm] a chance to hang [Em] around
[A] [G]
I've been there by [A] the fire, [D]
I've been there in [G] the fire
While all [D] my friends, my old [G] lady
[Bm] Sit [Em] at the pass and fight her [A] vow
Talk [G] of poems and [F#m] prayers and promises
[Em] Things that [D] people leave in
How sweet it is to love someone, [G] how right it is [A] to care
[G] How long it's been [F#m] since yesterday
[Em] What about [D] tomorrow?
What about our dreams [Em] and all the memories we [A] share?
