C  Em  D
Heydays are passing
                    C
Your house has been rented
              G6     C  
Several times over
   Dm            D
By prettier girls

C

[Verse 2]

                   Em  D
Weekends and summers
               C
Bands that you loved
                       G6     C
Were just haircuts and jackets
     Dm            D
Back then that was enough

G7

[Verse 3]

                  C  Em  D
Your days are invested
                   C
The band has been signed
                  G6       C
You've been there before 
        Dm            D
Perhaps this is the time

C

[Verse 4]

                   C   Em  D
Girlfriends are leaving
             C
New girls arrive
             G6       C
You open the circle
      Dm         D
To be blinded by light

G7

[Verse 5]
                 C  Em  D
Uncertain the future
              C
Nostalgic the past
               G6       C
Unable to recognize
Dm            D
Moments that pass

C

[Verse 6]

                C  Em  D
Heydays are passing
               C
Friendless and thin
                   G6       C
From back doors of cafes
Dm         D
Hid by the din

G7

[Verse 7]
                    C  Em  D
But don't hold a candle
               C
Don't carry a torch
              G6       C
Those are for castles
            Dm              D
And you are long from their court

C

[Verse 8]
                 C  Em  D
But lift up a bottle
               C
And put back a glass
                G6       C
Some years from tomorrow
          Dm              D
With your gut you'll look back
