Strum
D-DU-UDU
Now we take our time so nonchalant
And spend our nights so bon vivant
We dress our days in silken robes
The money comes the money goes
We know it's all a passing phase
We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang our hopes on chandeliers
We're going wrong we're gaining weight
We're sleeping long and far too late
And so it's time to change our ways
But I've loved these days
Now as we indulge in things refined
We hide our hearts from harder times
A string of pearls a foreign car
Oh, we can only go so far
on caviar and Cabernet
We drown our doubts in dry champagne
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
I don't know why I even care
We get so high and get nowhere
We'll have to change our jad-ed ways
But I've loved these days
- Same as Verses 1, 3 & 5
So before we end and then begin
We'll drink a toast to how it's been
A few more hours to be complete
A few more nights on satin sheets
A few more times that I can say
I've loved these days
