Steve Harley - Best Years Of Our Lives Chords & Tabs

C  C/B*  Am        G        F    C
European Maids, so hard to ignore
C  C/B*   Am        G        F    C
You, me, and the boys, barred from the shore

F                      C
Fresh-faced imbeciles, laughing at me
          F                        C
I've been laughing myself, is that so hard to see? 
     F                         C
Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly!
           F                            C
If there's no room for laughter there's no room for me
Dm              G
For me...

Try looking at you, rather than me 
No truth is in here, it's all fantasy
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/steve_harley/best_years_of_our_lives_crd.html ]
Since the last time we met I've been through
About seven hundred changes and that's just a few 
And the changes all tend to be something to do
But you've got to believe thaYthey're all done for you 

CHORUS
F                 Em               Dm           C
You'll think it's tragic when that moment first arrives 
Oh, but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives

Lost now for the words to tell you the truth 
please banter with me the banter of youth 

If I knew how to say it I'd say it for you
If I knew how to whisper I'd whisper, for you
If I knew how to waltz, I'd get up and dance for you 
If I thought I could run I'd come running to you 

I've discovered now how to be fair
This I could teach you if only I dare

The only conclusion I've reached in my life 
Is that if I should die I should die-by the knife 
Since it's only a matter of courage all right
Die a man or a martyr, the two would be nice, so nice 

CHORUS
