Elvis Costello & The Attractions – The Days Take Care Of Everything (Guitar)

N.C.                            G
If you wanna feel sorry for yourself

                             C
Then go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you

                 Am          E        A
Sometimes you're just like a petulant child

                D       G            C
You seem to get so much satisfaction just from being denied

    Dm            G          C             F
And now that he's taken everything you can give

Dm          Bb        Gm            G               C
You come to me asking "How can I continue to live?"

    E          A           E     A
The days take care of everything

A               E          A           E
You've had your fling, you poor little thing

A            D
But don't despair

         G         C            G       C
Yes, the days take care of everything

       C           G              C             G
You'll pass on the street, you'll know him from someplace

    C                F
But you won't know where

    Dm        Bb      Cm   E
The days take care of everything

N.C.                              G
We sat up all night and talked it through

                                       C
You drank down the bottle and I blew a lower note

      Am             E                A
Now I must be going, now it's getting late

              D        G              C
But what if I was less of a friend and more of a traitor?

    Dm            G              C         F
But how could you know how I was longing inside?

    Dm         G                C            F
Our eyes never met and my hands stayed by my side

Dm         G              C           F
And as you gave me that affectionate kiss

F                                           G           C
How could you know I had been waiting for a chance like this?

N.C.                              G
I've been in upstate conventional turn

                       C
I overheard a heavenly choir

               Am            E               A
And though you still turn to me from time to time

               D         G
One day you're up in the clouds

                  C
Next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines

    Dm        G          C              F
And now I can see it was not meant to be

Dm              Bb       Gm          G                   C
You'll take him back and never spare another thought for me

    E         A            E     A
The days take care of everything

A               E          A           E
You've had your fling, you poor little thing

A            D
But don't despair

         G         C            G     C
Yes, the days take care of everything

       C           G              C             G
You'll pass on the street, you'll know him from someplace

    C              F
But you won't know where

    Dm        Bb      G    C
The days take care of everything
