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
