F         F7                 Am
Same when I left you now the same upon return
F                F7         Am
As your pages flip over you seem to let them burn
F                  F7          Am
You drink from the bottle that sole your friend
C7          G
Your friend your friend
F       F7           Am
Now the seasons they come and they go
F           F7              Am
I watch the blossoms as the bees take their own
F                  F7         Am
I peer through the water that floods my eyes
C7      G
My eyes my eyes

F                G             F              G
I want you in my life I feel I need you in my life 
            F            G
but I can’t have you not tonight
C7              F               Cadd9     G     F    
Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days

F           F7               Am
I watch our children as they play in the sand 
F        F7                    Am
Speaking those words that only you can understand
F      F7                 Am
I know inside of you, you feel that they are gold
C7                    G
You know there’s time they are not yet old

F                      G       F                           G
They want you in their lives I feel they need you in their lives 
               F            G
but they can’t have you not tonight
C7              F               Cadd9     G     F
Not these days, not these days, not these days, not these days

Cadd9               G               F                  G
I hope these things they come alive inside you and you recognise
Cadd9               G                   F               G
I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night
Cadd9              G                   F        G 
I see you standing with each child and laughing as you feed their smiles
Cadd9               G                   F               G
I hope these things they come alive and bite you in the night 
Cadd9          F           G                   Cadd9 
Because we, we need you in our lives – Because we, we need you in our lives

Cadd9                   G              F                G             Cadd9
Because these days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in 
Cadd9           G              F                 G            Cadd9
These days are, these days are nothing – tell me where do we fit in
