Text

AWe never had that much to do,

So we just lay around in someonesDhouse

SomeEday I?ll have it all again,

Just like way backAwhen.

ABack then we?d sleep until the afternoon

Then we'd just get up and goDoutside.

Open aEwindow, let the breeze blow in,

Forget everyAthing.

Yeah,Dthose will be the

Adays that I'll beEmissing.D

When I?m old and when I?mAgray

and when IEstop working.D

I hope that I canAsay,

When all my days areEdone:

We were just having fun.A

AWell we?d go drinking in the afternoon,

Lie out on the grass, and fallDasleep.

Oh will IEever see that girl again?

The girl from way backAwhen...

AYeah, we used to share a cigarette,

And throw together everything weDhad...

And then goEdriving in my parents? car,

We never strayed tooAfar.

Yeah,Dthose will be the

Adays that I'll beEmissing.D

When I?m old and when I?mAgray

and when IEstop working.D

I hope that I canAsay,

When all my days areEdone:

That I had my fun.A

DThose will be theAdays

that I had myEfun.E7

YeahDtime can move soAfast.

SomeEthings are made toE7last.E

Here's toDyou, my dear oldAfriend,

From wayEback when...

Yeah,Dthose will be the

Adays that I'll beEmissing.D

When I?m old and when I?mAgray

and when IEstop working.D

I hope that I canAsay,

When all my days areEdone:

That I had my fun.A
