open up the window and
       G                 Em   G   A
jump into the blue

             Em   G   A
But then Oh
                           Em    G   A

Oh well these are the days and
this is the time there'll always be
something on your mind you'll

the time
if this is the moment the end of the
line you'll never quite find
you used to know but
now you've forgotten
    Em                    A
A submarine got stuck to the bottom
 Em                             A
these are the days so wake up coz
                   G                            D
this is the time and you know I'm right
