(C) (Em7/B) (Am) (Am/G) (Fj7)
Well, (C)I've (Em7/B)been out (Am)walking,(Am/G) (Fj7)
I don't (C)do (Em7/B)that much (Am)talking(Am/G)
These (Fj7)days, these (C)da(G)ys.
These (Fj7)days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to (C)do
For (G)you, (E7)
And (Am)all of the (Em7/B)times I had a (Fj7)chance to.
(C) (Em7/B) (Am) (Am/G) (Fj7)
(C) (Em7/B) (Am) (Am/G) (Fj7)
So (C)I´ve (Em7/B)stopped my (Am)scheming,(Am/G) (Fj7)
I don´t (C)do (Em7/B)all that (Am)dreaming(Am/G)
These (Fj7)days, these (C)da(G)ys.
These (Fj7)days I seem to think about
How all these changes came about my (C)way, (G) (E7)
And I (Am)wonder if I´ll (Em7/B)see another (Fj7)highway.

Well, (C)I (Em7/B)had a (Am)lover,(Am/G) (Fj7)
I don´t (C)think I´ll (Em7/B)risk a(Am)nother
These (Fj7)days, these (C)da(G)ys.
And (Fj7)if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in (C)song,
(G)Mm mm mm mm,(E7)
Well, it's (Am)just ´cause (Em7/B)I've been (Fj7)losing
(C)Soo(Em7/B)oo(Am)oo(Am/G)oo (Fj7)long.
(C) (Em7/B) (Am) (Am/G) (Fj7)
But (C)I'll (Em7/B)keep on (Am)moving,(Am/G) moving (Fj7)on.
Things are (C)bound to (Em7/B)be im(Am)proving(Am/G)
These (Fj7)days, these (C)da(G)ys.
These (Fj7)days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to (C)ten,
My (G)friend.(E7)
Please don't con(Am)front me (Em7/B)with my fai(Fj7)lures, (hold)
I had not forgotten them.
