D                   G             Bm
Morning falls like rain into the city life

             G
There goes another night

D                    G
Losing my breath in waves

             Bm                           G
Knowing that ever crash is bleeding the hourglass

                      D G               Bm   G
And taking the strife,    from all our lives
[Verse 2]
D               G
Everyone keeps talking

                  Bm
They promise you everything

                     G
But they don't mean anything
[Verse 3]
D                G
We may lose our focus

                  Bm
There's just too many words

                  G
We're never meant to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
       Bm*            Em*  Em
And we don't feel so alive
[Chorus]
           D                G
Say goodbye, these days are gone

        D                 G
And we can't keep holding on

            Em             G
When all we need is some relief

                   D     G
Through these hard times

                   D     G
Through these hard times
[Verse 4]
D                   G
Move your hands in circles

            Bm
Keeping me hypnotized

            G
The power behind your eyes

D                  G                   Bm
Move around your bedroom cursing the naked sky

              G
You should be here tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
        Bm*            Em* Em
But you stay alone and cry
[Chorus]
            D               G
Say goodbye, these days are gone

        D                 G
And we can't keep holding on

            Em             G
When all we need is some relief

                   D
Through these hard times
[Bridge]
      F#m                           G
(whoa)    There's something missing

          F#m                          Em
(Oh whoa)     You'll never feel it but you

         F#m                          A
(Oh whoa)   You're gonna feel it when it's gone

               D G Bm G
When it's gone
[Chorus]
            D               G
Say goodbye, these days are gone

        D                 G
And we can't keep holding on

            Em             G
When all we need is some relief

              D
Through these hard times

     Em                 G
(hey)  These hard times

    D                 Em Em
(oh no no) Hard times

           G G
Hard times

        D                   G
Say goodbye, these days are gone

        D                   Em
Say goodbye, these days are gone

D              Em   G D*
These days are gone
