FF7Am
Same when I left you now the same upon return
FF7Am
As your pages flip over you seem to let them burn
FF7Am
You drink from the bottle that sole your friend
C7G
Your friend your friend
FF7Am
Now the seasons they come and they go
FF7Am
I watch the blossoms as the bees take their own
FF7Am
I peer through the water that floods my eyes
C7G
My eyes my eyes
FGFG
I want you in my life I feel I need you in my life
FG
but I can’t have you not tonight
C7FCadd9GF
Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days
FF7Am
I watch our children as they play in the sand
FF7Am
Speaking those words that only you can understand
FF7Am
I know inside of you, you feel that they are gold
C7G
You know there’s time they are not yet old
FGFG
They want you in their lives I feel they need you in their lives
FG
but they can’t have you not tonight
C7FCadd9GF
Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days
Cadd9GFG
I hope these things they come alive inside you and you recognise
Cadd9GFG
I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night
Cadd9GFG
I see you standing with each child and laughing as you feed their smiles
Cadd9GFG
I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night
Cadd9FGCadd9
Because we, we need you in our lives – Because we, we need you in our lives
Cadd9GFGCadd9
Because these days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in
Cadd9GFGCadd9
These days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in
