[Verse 1]
C                Am6/C          G/B
Now we take our time, so nonchalant

                Bb              F
And spend our nights, so bon vivant

F  C/F   F    C/F     Bb/F       F
We dress our days in silken robes

Dm/F C/F Dm/F Dm/F C     A7/C#     Dm
The  money    comes, the money goes

Dm C/D  Dm   D    D Em/D D  Gsus   G   F/G    G7
We know it's all, a passing phase
[Chorus]
C                Am6/C          G/B
   We light our lamps for atmosphere

              Bb       Bb6/C   F
And hang our hopes, on chandeliers

F     C/F F C/F          Bb/F          F
We're going wrong, we're gaining weight

Dm/F  C/F Dm/F Dm/F C       A7/C#     Dm
We're sleeping long,  and far too late

Dm  C/D Dm   D    D  Em/D   D    Gsus   G    F/G
And so  it's time to change our ways

    G6   Fmaj7/G G     C
But I've loved   these days
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C             Am6/C            G/B
Now as we indulge in things refined

              Bb                F
We hide our hearts from harder times

F C/F    F  C/F       Bb/F        F
A string of pearls, a foreign car,

Dm/F C/F Dm/F Dm/F C     A7/C#  Dm
Oh,  we  can  on - ly  go so far

Dm C/D  Dm   D  D   Em/D D  Gsus   G   F/G   G7
On ca - vi - ar and Cab -er-net
[Chorus]
C                 Am6/C            G/B
   We drown our doubts in dry champagne

                 Bb       Bb6/C    F
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine

F C/F   F    C/F    Bb/F      F
I don't know why, I even care

Dm/F  C/F Dm/F Dm/F C       A7/C#    Dm
We'll get so   high   and get nowhere

Dm    C/D  Dm D      D   Em/D D     Gsus   G    F/G
We'll have to change our ja - ded ways

    G6   Fmaj7/G G     C
But I've loved   these days

So before we end, and then begin

                Gm/Bb   C9        F
We'll drink a toast, to how it's been

F C/F F    C/F      Bb/F    F
A few more hours to be complete

F C/F Dm/F Dm/F  C     A7/C#   Dm
A few more nights on satin sheets

Dm C/D Dm   D     D    Em/D D     Gsus   G   F/G
A  few more times that I    can say

G6   Fmaj7/G G     C
I've loved   these days
