These Days

C - D | Em (6x)


[Verse 1]

         C                       D
I was walking around, just a face 
                          Em
in the crowd try to keep myself out 
of the rain
          C                        
Saw a vagabond king wear a 
   D                               
styrofoam crown wondered if I might
 Em
 end up the same
            C                   
There's a man out on the corner, 
D           Em               
singing old songs about change 
C                        D       
everybody got their cross to 
           G
bare, these days.


[Verse 2]

               C                 
She came looking for some shelter 
      D                          Em
with a suitcase full of dreams
              C                    
To a motel room on the boulevard I 
   D                          Em
guess she's trying to be James Dean
     C                      D     
She's seen all the disciples and 
      Em                  C       
all the 'wanna be's' no one wants 
                D            Em
to be themselves these days
C            D                   
Still there's nothing to hold on to 
G
but these days


[Chorus]

          C           D           
These days the stars ain't out of 
         Em          C         
reach - These days there ain't a 
             D                  G
ladder from the streets oh no no
C                D              
These days are fast, nothing 
G                    C           
lasts in this graceless age - 
                    D              
There ain't nobody left but us 
     G
these days

[Verse 3] (like Verse 2)

C                       D        
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs,
                  Em
 trying to learn to fly
C                       D        
From a second story window, he 
                  Em
just jumped and closed his eyes
C                      D      
His momma said he was crazy - he 
     Em                  C        
said momma "I've got to try" Don't
               D            Em
 you know that all my heroes died
C            D                   
And I guess I rather die f f f fade 
G
away - yeah


[Chorus]

C           D                    
These days the stars ain't out of
Em          C                     
 reach But these days there ain't 
 D                  G
a ladder from the streets oh no no
C                D              
These days are fast, nothing 
G                    C           
lasts it's a graceless age - Even
              D                    
 innocence has caught the midnight 
Em
train
C                 D              
There ain't nobody left but us 
     G
these days


[Bridge]

C Am C Am
C         Am                     
I know Rome's still burning 
   C                            Am
though the times have changed
C         Am                  D 
This world keeps turning round 
and round and round and round these
(C)
 days

a ladder from the streets oh no no
C                D              
These days are fast, nothing 
G                    C           
lasts it's a graceless age - Even
              D                    
 innocence has caught the midnight 
Em
train


[Chorus]

C           D

These days are fast, nothing 
G                    C           
last there ain't no time to waste
              D                    
 - There ain't nobody left to take 
Em
the blame

C             D                  
There ain't nobody left but us 
          G

ain't nobody left but us these days
