Billy Joel – Ive Loved These Days (Ukulele)

C                    D/C               G/B
Now we take our time     so nonchalant

                     Bb6               F
And spend our nights     so bon vivant

                  C/F    Bb/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

                   Bb6                F
And hang our hopes     on chandeliers

                  C/F       Bb/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

                   Bb6                   F
We hide our hearts     from harder times

                   C/F   Bb/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

                     Bb6                   F
And soothe our souls     with fine cocaine

                 C/F   Bb/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

                 D/C                G/B
So before we end     and then begin

                    Bb6                  F
We'll drink a toast     to how it's been

                 C/F   Bb/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
