CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
EmCaviar on the table, ChamDpagne in the glass
We Emlaughed and we jeered at the Dpoor working class
We Emdrank to their ruin, we Ddrank to their shame
We Gpissed on their problems, said B7they were to blame
Oh, the Emway we lived then, the Dway we lived then
The Emway we lived then
[Verse 2]
EmJason wore braces and Dslicked his hair down
EmBen had the number of Deach deb in town
EmI was a member of Devery new club
And I Gused my gold card to B7pay every sub
For the Emway we lived then, the Dway we lived then
The Emway we lived then
[Chorus]
Oh, the way we lived Dthen
Selling Deutschmark or EmYen
Never thinking of Dwhere did it come from
How Clong would it last us, or B7when
Would we all have to Empay for this mad holiDday
For the Porsche and the GRolls that were our only Dgoals
Me and Jason and B7Ben
Oh, the way we lived Emthen D  Em  D  
[Verse 3]
EmJason met Sarah, a Dgirl in P.R.
They Emhad a white wedding, all Dpaid for by Pa
EmBorrowed a fortune to Dbuy their first pad
It was Gtwo hundred K, but then B7prices were mad
The Emway we lived then, the Dway we lived then
The Emway we lived then
[Verse 4]
EmJason said, three years, we'll Dsell and move on
Then Emsuddenly, we turned and DMaggie was gone
EmBen said, don't worry, she's Dschooled them all well
So, we Gdrank to the sending of a B7message to hell
Oh, the Emway we lived then, the Dway we lived then
The Emway we lived then
[Chorus]
Oh, the way we lived Dthen
Selling Deutschmark or EmYen
Never thinking of Dwhere did it come from
How Clong would it last us, or B7when
Would we all have to Empay for this mad holiDday
For the Porsche and the GRolls that were our only Dgoals
Me and Jason and B7Ben
Oh, the way we lived Emthen D  Em  D  
[Verse 5]
EmSarah got pregnant, then DJason got fired
EmBen took a pay cut and DI felt too tired
EmBurnt out at thirty and Dsacked on the day
The Grepo man took my red B7Roller away
Oh, the Emway we lived then, the Dway we lived then
The Emway we lived then
[Instrumental]
Em D Em D Em D C B7
[Verse 6]
Now there's Embread on the table and Dbeer in the glass
But it's Emmerely a set back for Dbreeding and class
MoEmnopoly money means 'Dalways pass go'
And we'll Gsurely pass you if you're B7going too slow
And we'll Emlive it again, the Dway we lived then
We'll Emlive it again
[Chorus]
Yes, we'll live it aDgain
Selling Deutschmark or EmYen
Only this time we'll Dknow where it comes from
We'll Cknow how to keep it, and B7then
We'll make someone else Empay for our mad holiDday
For the Porsche and the GRolls that are our only Dgoals
Me and Jason and B7Ben
We'll live it aEmgain D  
The way we lived Emthen D  
We'll live it aEmgainD  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  Em
