There were days
G
and there were days
Gm....................D#
and there were days between
Dm...............D#
Summer flies and August dies
A#.......................F
the world grows dark and mean
Dm.......................D#
Comes the shimmer of the moon
Dm................D#
on black infested trees
F..................Gm
the singing man is at his song
F.................Gm
the holy on their knees
C....................Gm
The reckless are out wrecking
C.....................Gm
The timid plead their pleas
Dm................D#
No one knows much more of this
A#..............F..............D#
than anyone can see anyone can see
G
There were days
G
and there were days
Gm....................D#
and there were days besides
Dm......................D#
when phantom ships with phantom sails
A#....................F
set to sea on phantom tides
Dm.........................D#
Comes the lightning of the sun
Dm..................D#
on bright unfocused eyes
F...............Gm
the blue of yet another day
F.....................Gm
a springtime wet with sighs
C...................Gm
a hopeful candle lingers
C...................Gm
in the land of lullabies
Dm......................D#
where headless horsemen vanish
A#...................F............D#
with wild and lonely cries lonely cries
G
There were days
G
and there were days
Gm....................D#
and there were days I know
Dm...............D#
when all we ever wanted
A#........................F
was to learn and love and grow
Dm....................D#
Once we grew into our shoes
Dm....................D#
we told them where to go
F.........................Gm
Walked halfway around the world
F.................Gm
on promise of the glow
C.....................Gm
Stood upon a mountain top
C......................Gm
Walked barefoot in the snow
Dm......................D#
Gave the best we had to give
A#...................F................D#
How much we'll never know we'll never know
G
There were days
G
and there were days
Gm....................D#
and there were days between
Dm..............D#
polished like a golden bowl
A#..............F
The finest ever seen
Dm...............D#
Hearts of Summer held in trust
Dm......................D#
still tender, young and green
F..................Gm
left on shelves collecting dust
F.....................Gm
not knowing what they mean
C.............Gm
Valentines of flesh and blood
C...............Gm
as soft as velveteen
Dm.......................D#
hoping love would not forsake
A#................F...........D#
the days that lie between lie between
