EmThe days are long
CAnd the nights they’ve gone
GAnd there’s no one left
HTo hear your song
EmWhen you’ve got no rights
CBut you’ve done no wrong
GAnd you’ve got no friends
H7 ( first fret)
Cos you don’t belong
 Em(all chords with barré)
They say, cut your hair
CAnd say your prayers
GWhen you think of a girl
H7Who doesn’t care
 Em(without barré)
If you live or die
CSo you start to cry
G*
Cos you love her so
H7But you don’t know why
 Em(all chords with barré)
The worlds are getting smaller
CThe days are getting shorter
GThe nights are growing colder
HAnd we’re all growing older
 Em(all chords without barré)
There’s nothing to look forward to
G*
Nothing to look back upon
CGrowing cold and lonely
H7
                         Em    D   G(play only the last 4 strings) G(play all)  Em  
And everyone is dead and gone

What happened to the good times?
Em (without barré)
Yes, I’ve been hurt and I’ve hurt
CAnd I’ve loved and I’ve lost
G*              H7  
And I’ve cried, I’ve cried out my eyes
EmI had no life to live
CAnd no love left to give
G*
I was dead on my feet
H7On a dead end street
Em
But then she came along
CShe’s a lyric in a song
G*
And it all felt write
H7When it all felt wrong
EmAnd every minute that she’s gone
CIs a minute too long
G*
And now she’s really gone
H7I can’t go on…
The worlds are getting smaller
The days are getting shorter
The nights are growing colder
And we’re all growing older
There’s nothing to look forward to
Nothing to look back upon
Growing cold and lonely
And everyone is dead and gone
What happened to the good times  End on Em

Nothing to look back upon

Growing cold and lonely

And everyone is dead and gone
