Intro: Em C G H* x2 

Em 
The days are long
C
And the nights they’ve gone
G 
And there’s no one left
H
To hear your song
Em
When you’ve got no rights
C
But you’ve done no wrong
G
And you’ve got no friends
H7 ( first fret)
Cos you don’t belong
Em (all chords with barré)
They say, cut your hair
C
And say your prayers
G
When you think of a girl
H7
Who doesn’t care
Em (without barré)
If you live or die
C
So you start to cry
G*
Cos you love her so
H7
But you don’t know why

Em (all chords with barré)
The worlds are getting smaller
C
The days are getting shorter
G
The nights are growing colder
H
And we’re all growing older
Em (all chords without barré)
There’s nothing to look forward to
G*
Nothing to look back upon
C
Growing cold and lonely
H7                                                                                            
                        Em D  G (play only the last 4 strings)G (play all) Em 
And everyone is dead and gone
Em                                        D           G (4 strings) G Em  H7
What happened to the good times?
Em (without barré)
Yes, I’ve been hurt and I’ve hurt
C
And I’ve loved and I’ve lost
G*              H7
And I’ve cried, I’ve cried out my eyes
Em
I had no life to live
C
And no love left to give
G*
I was dead on my feet
H7
On a dead end street
Em

But then she came along
C
She’s a lyric in a song
G*
And it all felt write
H7
When it all felt wrong
Em
And every minute that she’s gone
C
Is a minute too long
G*
And now she’s really gone
H7
I can’t go on…

The worlds are getting smaller
The days are getting shorter
The nights are growing colder
And we’re all growing older
There’s nothing to look forward to
Nothing to look back upon
Growing cold and lonely
And everyone is dead and gone
