[Verse 1]
G
I have lived with another's arms
C
Pulling me up till I learnt to stand
On my own two feet with my own ideas, and my own beliefs
G
Hearts are broken, nations fall
C
Youth's bright burn, time eats it all
But still it starts back up again, it never ends
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am Em
Look at me now, I'm here before you
I finally found the guts to start
G Am
With nothing to lose, nothing to hide
Em C
And everything to prove
[Chorus]
G
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
C
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
G
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
C
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
G
These are the days and you're living them your way
[Verse 2]
G
Every time I try to find the right words
C
To describe the mess, make the sentence heard
I'd hit another wall, such a narrow mind, down we fall
G
Sure it's a risk, to take it this far
C
But how else do you know what the limits are
What the dark feels like, I know the crowd holds court
But they're not always right
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am Em
Look at me now, I'm here before you
I finally found the guts to start
G Am
With nothing to lose, nothing to hide
Em C
And everything to prove
[Chorus]
G
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
C
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
G
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
C
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
Em
These are the days and you're living them your way
[Bridge]
Am
Lights on, it's clearer now
C
I wouldn't change a thing, I wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
G
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
C
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
G
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the wound, you forget by tomorrow
C
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
G
These are the days and you're living them your way
