C
In the days when we had nothing
D
And the rent was overdue
G
We never ever worried
G7 C
And we'd always see it through
We didn't mind the hard times
D
We just said 'I love you'
G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
Am
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
C
In the days when we had nothing
D
But the dreams we knew we shared
G
There were empty shelves and old tin cans
G7 C
But neither of us cared
We said 'we can't' we knew we shouldn't
D
Then we went and dared
G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
Am
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
C
In the days when we had nothing
D
We had everything and more
G
We had all the years ahead
G7 C
And there were years ahead below
But it's taken all those years for me
D
To find what living's for
G G7 C
Let's forget that we've got something and have fun
Am
'Cos now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
D
The bills come every morning
G G7
And I find to my surprise
C E
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
F Fm
And all that money buys
C G7
In the days when we had nothing
C G7
In the days when we had nothing
C G G7 C
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
