  			C#  A 
some days 
i couldn't get up 
couldn't get down 
i'm bored of everything 
somehow a little black cloud 
would rain over me 
someone 
was making me mad 
good turned bad 
and i'd lose everything 
to get you back 
just to get you back but... 
 
 
E A F# B 
these days 
the world's alright 
the sun shines bright 
i'm kicking out the dreams 
these days 
i don't think twice 
i walk on ice 
i'm positively somewhere 
 
chorus 
E A F# B 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on and on... 
 
 
C#   A 
i'm out of the fire and into the swimming pool 
sometimes 
i'd drown my tears 
but the same old fears come back 
someone's been making me ill 
i bet you're still 
a 2,3,4 letter word 
yes, you heard 
the pretty little birds fly home, cause... 
 
 
E  A  F#  B 
these days 
the sun kicks in 
the good guys win 
i'm illegal in the back seat 
these days 
i'm safe and sound 
not dragged down 
you wanna know the reason? 
 
chorus 
E A F# B 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on and on... 
 
C# A  (this is actually really in a different key but yo know---it doesnt much matter) 
 
thank you for not being here 
i feel better when you're not 
sleeping in my head 
tossing and turning 
an' messing up the sheets 
the love we made was incomplete 
like the shoes on your feet 
same stuff i've heard before 
that philosophy starting to bore me now 
now you won't have to smile and ignore me 
 
E  A F#  B 
these days 
the karma's right 
the sun shines bright 
i'm kicking out the bad dreams 
these days 
i don't think twice 
i walk on light 
i'm positively somewhere 
 
chorus 
E A F# B 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on 
long after you've gone 
these days go on and on...
