[C] [G/C]
[C]Come and play the tunes of glory[G/C]
[C]Raise your voice in celebration
Of the [C]days that we have wasted[G/C]
In the [C]caf in the station
And learn the [F]meaning of existence
In [Dm]fortnightly instalments
[C]Come share this golden age with m[G/C]e
In my [C]single-room apartment
And if it [C/G]all amounts to nothing
It doesn't matter[F]
These are [G]still our Glory Days[C]
[G7sus4/D] [C]
[G7sus4/D]Oh, my fa[C]ce is unappealing
[G7sus4/D]And my th[C]oughts are unoriginal
[G7sus4/D]I did exp[C]eriments with substances -[G7sus4/D][C]
But all they did was make me ill, and I
I[F] used to do the I Ching
But then I [Dm]had to feed the meter
Now [G7sus4/D]I can't s[C]ee into the future
But at[G7sus4/D] least I [C]can use the heater[G7sus4/D][G]
Oh it doesn't get much better than this
'Cos this is [Dm]how we live our Glory Days[G7sus4/D][C][G7sus4/D]
And I could be a genius
If I just put my mind to it
And I, I could do anything
If only I could get round to it
Oh, we were brought up on the Space Race
Now they expect you to clean toilets!
When you've seen how big the world is
Oh, how can you make do with this?
If you want me, I'll be sleeping in
Sleeping in throughout these Glory Days
Solo
Verse
(Key Change 1 tone)
These glory days can take their toll
So catch me now before I turn to gold
Yeah we'd love to hear your story
Just as long as it tells us where we are
And where we are is where we're meant to be
Oh c'mon, make it up yourself!
You don't need anybody else!
And I promise i won't tell
These days to anybody else
In the world but you.
No-one but you
No-one but you
No-one but you
No-one but you.
