Pretty easy way of playing this great song. Sounds good enough on the acoustic.
During the intro and verse, A11 and Am7 are small variations that sound pretty good. I play them like this:
A11: x00000
Am7: x02213
[Intro]
Am Am A11 Am
Am Am Am7 Am
Am Am A11
[Verse 1]
Am F G Am
A sad fact widely known
A11 Am
The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
F G Am
Is so easily outgrown
Am A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you smile
F G Am
And the songs that made you cry
Am A11 Am
When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
F G Am
And said "oh, oh, smother me mother"
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F G Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
[Verse 2]
Am A11 Am
The passing of time and all of its crimes
F G Am
Is making me sad again
Am A11 Am
The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
F G Am
Is making me sad again
Am A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you cry
F G Am
And the songs that saved your life
Am A11 Am
Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine
F G Am
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
[Chorus]
F EmF EmAm
x2
F Em F G Am
[Verse 3]
Am A11 Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F G Am
waiting to be filled
Am Am7 Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F G Am
waiting to be filled
Am A11 Am
I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch
F G Am
In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)
Am A11 Am
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living
F G Am
Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F G Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
[Middle]
Am C D F
Do you love me like you used to?
E F G
Oh...
[Chorus]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F G Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
[Outro]
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F G Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
F Em F Em Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F Em F Em Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey

Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
