Billy Joel - Ive Loved These Days

C D/C G/B
now we take our time so nonchalant
A#6 F
and spend our nights so bon vivant
C/F A#/F F
we dress our days in silken robes
C A/C# Dm
the money comes the money goes
D G/D D7 Gsus4 G Dm/G G C
we know it’s all a passing phase

D/C G/B
we light our lamps for atmosphere
A#6 F
and hang our hopes on chandeliers
C/F A#/F F
we’re going wrong we’re gaining weight
C A/C# Dm
we’re sleeping long and far too late
D G/D D7 Gsus4 G
and so it’s time to change our ways
Dm/G G Dm/G C
but i’ve loved these days

D/C G/B
now as we indulge in things refined
A#6 F
we hide our hearts from harder times
C/F A#/F F
a string of pearls a foreign car
C A/C#
oh , we can only go so far
Dm D G/D D7 Gsus4 G Dm/G G
on caviar and cabernet

C D/C G/B
we drown our doubts in dry champagne
A#6 F
and soothe our souls with fine cocaine
C/F A#/F F
i don’t know why i even care
C A/C# Dm
we get so high and get nowhere
D G/D D7 Gsus4 G
we’ll have to change our jad – ed ways
Dm/G G Dm/G C
but i’ve loved these days

[ instrumental ] – same as verses 1 , 3 & 5

D/C G/B
so before we end and then begin
A#6 F
we’ll drink a toast to how it’s been
C/F A#/F F
a few more hours to be complete
C A/C# Dm
a few more nights on satin sheets
D G/D D7 Gsus4 G
a few more times that i can say

i’ve loved these days
