G Am

In these later days we're making

G Am

a living on the taking

G D Am C

from each other all the things for which we have no further use

G Am

See the people there on Friday

G Am

at the barter fair say 'why pay'

G D Am C

could I trade you this fine portrait for those shoes

G Am

And I know that I don't know you well

G Am

but holding your hand I can tell

G D Am C

that if I ever lost you I'd be crazed

[Chorus]

G Am

And the sunny field is darkened by

G Am

the shadows I am harkened by

G Am D D/C D/B D/C

could you hold me tightly through these later days

Later days later days later days later

[Verse 2]

G Am

These commercials have me thinking

G Am

what I drive and what I'm drinking

G D Am C

are in essence just the things that make me free

G Am

We're not movin' on the freeway

G Am

and there's got to be a new way

G D Am C

to get my things from point A to point B

[Chorus]

G Am

And the sunny field is darkened by

G Am

the shadows I am harkened by

G Am D D/C D/B D/C

could you hold me tightly through these later days

Later days later days later days later
