              Intro:  D Dsus2 G  D 
 
D       G                    D          
We can never know about the days to come 
 D       G                  A       Asus4 A  
But we think about them anyway, yeah 
       D      G              D           Dsus4 D Dsus2 D    
And I wonder  if I'm really with you now 
         G      Em          A     D    D Dsus2 G  D
Or just chasin' after some finer day 
G         A   D
Anticipation, anticipation 
    G        A
Is makin' me late 
    G         A
Is keepin' me waitin' 
And I tell you| how easy it feels to be with you 
And how right | your arms feel around me 
But I | I rehearsed those words just late last night 
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be   
 
chorus
 
And tomorrow | we might not be together 
I'm no prophet | Lord I don't know nature's ways 
So I'll try | and see into your eyes right now 
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days 
 
These are the good old days 
      G         Em          A                      D
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days 
 
(D intro thing over these lines)
These are the good old days 
These are the good old days 
These are the good old days 
These are...the good old days
