Now we take our time so non-cha-lant,

 -4   -5   -8    7   -5  -6  7  -7
And spend our nights so bon vi-vant.

We dress our days in silk-en robes,

 8   -8  8   7    -6b  -5 -6b -5
The mon-ey comes, the mon-ey goes

 8  -8   8    7 -5b -6b  -7   7
We know it's all a pass-ing phase.

VERSE 2 same as 1
We light our lamps for atmosphere,
And hang our hopes on chandeliers.
We're going wrong, we're gaining weight,
We're sleeping long and far too late.
And so it's time to change our ways...

But i've loved these days.

Verse 3 same as 1
Now as we indulge in things refined,
We hide our hearts from harder times.
A string of pearls, a foreign car
Oh, we can only go so far on caviar & cabernet

Verse 4 dame as 1
We drown our doubts in dry champagne,
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine.
I don't know why i even care...
We get so high and get nowhere.
We'll have to change our jaded ways...
But i've loved these days.

Verse 5 instrumental
Verse 6 same as 1
So before we end (and then begin)-
We'll drink a toast to how it's been...
A few more hours to be complete,
A few more nights on satin sheets,
A few more times that i can say...
I've loved these days

ENJOY!!!
