[Intro]
Em C G D
[Verse 1]
Em C
I never did it for the money, I did it because I had a lot of time on my hands.
G D
Now I've got plans, to make more plans, All of my friends grew up and push prams.
Em C
It hits you like bam, what's it all for? Music was my life then life got ignored.
G D
Then I lost hope, then I got broke, Then all I wrote came out as old folk.
Em C
There goes my genius, blink and you missed it, Loop up the chorus, learn how to whistle it,
G D
If ya get an idea try not to fist it, It's like god whispered something insisted,
Em C
Try not to block it, try not to drop it, When you get your grubby little paws on it,
G D
You gotta rock it, You gotta rock it, You gotta rock it to the moon get on it,
[Chorus]
Em C
And it might not mean that much to you, It means a lot to me, and it's got to be,
G D
Something strange and familiar I still wanna feel it, I still wanna feel the music.
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by
[Verse 2]
Em C
My boys said? you redefine dope, Plus you had the presence of mind to rock the boat,
G D
Plus you had some hits from the rhymes in your folder, Had a bit of shine, and fell into a coma,
Em C
Get back out there and do it all sober, Milk that shit until the cow falls over,
G D
Do it for the music, do it for the moment, Even if it never blows up, own it,
Em C
Kids these days want posters on their walls, Friends on facebook, and ironic rap quotes,
G D
Me, I've got bad jokes, personal anecdotes, Songs for perennial underachievers,
Em C
You want a revolution, move to Beijing, You wanna get high and sing along then join in,
G D
It's all good, mad props, Truth of the matter salvation is ad hoc
[Chorus]
Em C
And it might not mean that much to you, It means a lot to me, and it's got to be,
G D
Something strange and familiar I still wanna feel it, I still wanna feel the music.
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by
[Verse 3]
Em C
It all breaks down to pride, A search for what makes the ride worthwhile,
G D
Look for the content, look for the star, Strap your shoes on and run that mile,
Em C
Keep the fire inside alive, Cos the world gets cold and it can pass you by,
G D
You can pass on the risk, convince the hurt, But that's a real bad way for you to pass the time,
Em C
I used to want to see my name in lights, I used to wanna be the one holding the mic,
G D
But these days man I've got nothing to prove, And it's evident it might mean nothing to you,
Em C
But if I didn't do it I'd have nothing to do, I'd probably have nothing to do with you,
G D
So until the day, there's nothing more to say, I'm-a keep on singing the tune,
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by
Em C G D
Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days go by, Oh woh oh woh ohhh ohhh, As the days say goodbye
[Solo]
Em C G D x2
[Outro]
Em C
sad boys with guitars, know how I feel, Birds in the park, know how I feel
G D
Drunks in bars, know how I feel, Self sabotage, knows how I feel
Em C
Part time retards, know how I feel, A big tub of lard, knows how I feel
G D
Jean Luke Picard, knows how I feel, His seven eye class, knows how I feel
Em C
Your next big meal, knows how I feel, The invention of the wheel, knows how I feel
G D
Yeah..., It's just how I feel
Em C G D
It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel
Em C G D
It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel,
