Verse 
 
G                  Bm 
Now and then I see old timers talkin' 
A                                   G 
All day long relivin' them good ol' days 
                   Bm 
Like it never gets old 
                      A 
And it's the same old stories 
                                            G 
Got me wonderin' if it's going to be us one day 
                 Bm              A 
Better live this one life we got up 
 
 
                     G 
'Cause these are the days 
        Bm                    A 
That are going to fly by like lightning so they say 
              G 
These are the nights yeah 
    Bm                          A 
The good times that we left the wild side out to play 
              G 
These are the Sunday mornings 
   Bm                      A 
We talked to the Lord, get right with the man upstairs 
            G G G NC 
Get back to rock it out 
          Bm Bm Bm NC 
So we can say we were there 
          A A A NC 
When we talk about it 
                    G Bm A 
In our rockin' chairs 
 
 
Verse 
 
G                  Bm 
C'mon ya'll we got memories to make 
     A 
Some cold beers to drink 
                                 G 
And some songs we gotta live out loud 
                 Bm 
Going to be some good hearts breakin' 
A 
Bunch of mistakes 
                               G 
Maybe some day we'll figure it out 
                   Bm 
But right now it's all about 
A 
Going all the way 
 
 
                     G 
'Cause these are the days 
        Bm                    A 
That are going to fly by like lightning so they say 
              G 
These are the nights yeah 
    Bm                          A 
The good times that we left the wild side out to play 
              G

Solo:  G Bm A G Bm A 
 
 
Bridge 
 
G                 Bm            A 
We gotta crank it up to ten and then some 
   G 
Go way too far 
    Bm 
Too fast, too hard 
        A 
And have too much fun 
 
 
 
              G 
These are the days 
         Bm                   A 
That are going to fly by like lightning, so they say 
              G            Bm 
These are the times of our lives 
   A 
We ain't got none to waste 
 
                     G 
'Cause these are the days 
        Bm                    A 
That are going to fly by like lightning so they say

These are the nights yeah
