Bon Jovi – These Days

Intro: C - D | Em }x6

Verse 1: 
         C                       D             
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd 
             Em  
try to keep myself out of the rain 
          C                           D    
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown 
                            Em  
wondered if I might end up the same 
            C                   D           Em     
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs 
          C                        D                  G  
about change everybody got their cross to bare, these days. 
 
Verse 2: 
               C                       D          
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase 
                Em  
full of dreams 
              C                       D               
To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying 
           Em  
to be James Dean 
     C                      D           Em            
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's' 
      C                     D        Em  
no one wants to be themselfs these days 
 C            D                   G  
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days 
  
Chorus: 
          C           D                   
These days the stars ain't out of reach - 
 Em          C                      D                  G  
These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no 
 C                D              G                    C    
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age - 
                           D            G  
There ain't nobody left but us these days 
  
Verse 3: (like Verse 2)  
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly 
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes 
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" 
Don't you know that all my heroes died 
And I guess I rather die f f f fade away - yeah 
 
Chorus: 
 C           D                    Em          C        
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days 
              D                  G  
there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no 
 C                D              G                    C   
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - 
                      D                    Em  
Even innocence has caught the midnight train 
 C                 D                   G  
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Bridge: 
 C         Am                        C               Am  
I know Rome's still burning though the times have changed 
 C         Am                  D                   
This world keeps turning round and round and round 
                 (C) 
and round these days  
 
Solo: C G D }x4 
  
Chorus: 
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days 
there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no 
These days are fast, nothing lasts it's a graceless age - 
Even innocence has caught the midnight train 
 
Chorus: 
These days the stars ain't out of reach But these days 
there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no 
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste - 
There ain't nobody left to take the blame 
 
 C             D                        G  
There ain't nobody left but us these days

There ain't nobody left but us these days
