These Are The Days

Tom: A
Intro:  A  D   A  D 

 A             D     
Motel, sitting in the dark, 
A                   D 
 empty room like an empty heart 
F#m                    D
 Lovers stop but they never stay 
F#m                              D  
  They don't look back as they drive away 
 A    D
Maybe I... 
        A               D
Should fix this broken neon light 
F#m                       D
  Fill in the cracks and paint it bright 
F#m                          D
  Then maybe love will stop here tonight 
A                         D
 And if she knocks on my door 
                   A
I'll give her the key 
                     D                     F#m
Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be 
       E             D
Everything that she sees in me 
F#m           E            D   
  More than I ever thought I could be but... 


CHORUS: 
  A            D
These are the days 
       A                      F#m
When I all that I can do is dream 
    G                      D                      
But I don't wanna spend forever 
 A                   E
Living in the in between 
      A                       D
I'm stuck here in a place without love 
       A                           F#m 
And I just can't let it stay this way 
         G                     D
But for now I'm gonna have to face it 
  A   E        A    D    A   D  
These are the days  
A                 D 
I gotta use this lonely time 
A                             D
To change the picture in my frame of mind 
    F#m                       D
Outside the window there's a sunny day 
         F#m    D 
I wanna feel it on my face 
 A      D        
You and I... 
A                               D 
We're out here looking for the same thing 
F#m                 D
 An end to all the wondering 
F#m                       D
 Waiting for someone to share this feeling 
A                         D
 And if she knocks on my door 
                   A
I'll give her the key 
                     D                     F#m
Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be 
       E             D
Everything that she sees in me 
F#m           E            D   
  More than I ever thought I could be but...
 
CHORUS: 
  A            D
These are the days 
       A                      F#m
When I all that I can do is dream 
    G                      D                      
But I don't wanna spend forever 
 A                   E
Living in the in between 
      A                       D
I'm stuck here in a place without love 
       A                           F#m 
And I just can't let it stay this way 
         G                     D
But for now I'm gonna have to face it 
  A   E        A      
These are the days  
                                 E         A
These are the days between your hopes and fears 
                                 E       A
These are the moments that are still unclear 
Hm                                 D
 When it's still uncertain if she will appear 
     D79
But like it or not 
          E
This is what I got 
CHORUS: 2 x 
  A            D
These are the days 
       A                      F#m
When I all that I can do is dream

But I don't wanna spend forever 
 A                   E
Living in the in between 
      A                       D
I'm stuck here in a place without love 
       A                           F#m 
And I just can't let it stay this way 
         G                     D
But for now I'm gonna have to face it 
  A   E        A      
These are the days
