These Days

The song reflects Jackson Brownes feelings of disillusionment and contemplation about his life and the people around him during a time of change in the 60s. It was written when he was 16 and captures a sense of premature aging and contemplating ones own failures.

Well I' ve been out walkin' 
             C   G/B        Am7       G      F7M 
And I don' t do that much talking, these days
       C   G 
These days
       F 
These days I seem to think a lot
                                   C        G   E/G# 
About the things that I forgot to do, for you
     Am                     F7M 
And all the times I had a chance to

      C  G/B    Am7   G  F7M 
Well I had a lover
         C        G/B    Am7     G        F7M 
It' s so hard to risk another these days

Things are bound to be improvin'  these days
              C    G 
One of these days
       F 
These days I sit on corner stones
                                        C        G       E/G# 
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
          Am        Em           F7M 
Don' t confront me with my failures
                       C  G/B  Am7   G  F7M 
I had not forgotten them
