 C     C/B       Am7   Am7/G   F 
I' ve been out walking
         C   C/B       Am7    Am7/G       F 
I don' t do too much talking these days
 Em 
These days
       F 
These days I seem to think a lot
                                   C7M    G 
about the things that I forgot to do
      C   C/B   Am7  Am7/G  F 
And all the times  I  had the chance to

 C     C/B         Am7  Am7/G  F 
I' ve stopped my rambling
         C   C/B       Am7  Am7/G  F 
I don' t do too much gambling these days
 Em 
These days
       F 
These days I seem to think about
                                   C7M    G 
how all the changes came about my way
       C  C/B  Am7  Am7/G  F 
And I wonder if I' d   see another highway

 C  C/B    Am7  Am7/G  F 
I had a lover
         C           C/B    Am7  Am7/G    F 
I don' t think I' ll risk another these days
 Em 
these days
 F 
And if I seem to be afraid
                                      C7M  G 
to live the life that I have made in song
      C     C/B   Am7   Am7/G  F 
It' s just that I' ve been losing so long

 C  C/B  Am7  Am7/G  F 
La-la-la-la-la
 F   C 
La-la

 C  C/B         Am7  Am7/G  F 
I stopped my dreaming
         C  C/B        Am7  Am7/G    F 
I won' t do too much scheming these days
 Em 
These days
 F 
These days I sit on cornerstones
                                        C7M  G 
and count the time in quarter tones to ten
                  C     C/B  Am7  Am7/G  F 
Please don' t confront me with my failures
                      C  C/B  Am7  Am7/G  F 
I had not forgotten them
