C                               G      F  Em Am
Under the tree where the grass don't grow
We made a promise to never get old
You had a chance and you took it on me
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep

F
Heartache, heartbreaks
G         Am
All over town
                F
But something flipped like a switch
        G       Am
When you came around
             F
And I'm in pieces
                G        Am  Gsus4 G
Pick me up and put me together

Chorus:
F              C
These are the days
            G       Am
We've been waiting for
F              C
On days like these
          G       Am
Who could ask for more?
F        C
Keep on coming
             G        Am
Cause we're not done yet
F              C
These are the days
    G        Am
We won't regret
F              C
These are the days
    G        Am
We won't forget
F              C
These are the days
            G       Am
We've been waiting for
F           C
Rattle the cage
      G        Am
And slam that door
         F        C
And the world is calling us
     G        Am
But not just yet
F              C
These are the days
    G        Am
We won't regret
F              C
These are the days
    G        Am
We won't forget

Out on the midnight the wild ones howl
The last of the lost boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of

Time flew, cut through all over town
You made me bleed when
I look up and you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up and put me together
(Oh whoa oh)

Chorus:
These are the days we've been waiting for
Neither of us knows what's in store
You just roll your window down and place your bets
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we'll never forget
And these are the days (these are the days)
And these are the days (these are the days)
