C            Am                   C
Bow bells say goodbye to the last train
         Am
Over the river they all go again
Dm       C     G    
Out into leafy nowhere 
Dm            C           F         G
hope someones waiting out there for them
C              Am               C
Cabbie has his mind on a fare to the sun
          Am                      Dm
He works nights but it's not much fun
             C      G        Dm           C         F
Picks up the London yo yo's, all on their own down soho
                G
Please take me home


[Chorus]
C            G          Am              Ab
Other people wouldn't like to hear you, if you said
C                  F         Ab       G
that these are the best days of our lives
C            G               Am            Ab
Other people turn around and laugh at you, if you said
G                  F         Ab  G   C
That these are the best days of our lives

[Verse 2]
Dm          C         G            Dm
Trellick Tower's been calling, I know
        C              F       G
she'll leave me in the morning
C               Am               C
In hotel cells listening to dial tones
        Am                Dm
Remote controls and cable moans
       C                G
In his drink he's been talking
Dm        C           F              G
Gets disconnected sleepwalking back home


[Chorus]
C            G          Am              Ab
Other people wouldn't like to hear you, if you said
C                  F         Ab       G
that these are the best days of our lives
C            G               Am            Ab
Other people turn around and laugh at you, if you said
G                  F         Ab  G   C
That these are the best days of our lives

[Chorus]
C            G            Am          Ab
Other people break into a cold sweat, if you said
C                  F         Ab       G
that these are the best days of their lives
C            G               Am            Ab
