         D#         Cm                  G#
When its not always raining there’ll be days like
 D#
this
             D#         Cm                  G#
When there’s no one complaining there’ll be days
       D#
like this
                G#         A#             D#
When everything falls into place like the flick
A#/D   Cm
of a switch
        Fm         A#             G#        D#
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this

When you don't need to worry
There'll be days like this
When no one's in a hurry
There'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed
By that old Judas kiss
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this

When you don't need an answer
There'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer
There'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle
Start to look like they fit
Then I must remember
There'll be days like this

When everyone is up front
And they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders
Out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business
The way that you want to live
I just have to remember
There'll be days like this

When no one steps on my dreams
There'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean
There'll be days like this
When you ring out the changes
Of how everything is
Well my mama told me
There'll be days like this

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this

        Fm         A#            G#        D#
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
        Fm         A#            G#        D#
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
        Fm         A#            G#        D#
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
        Fm         A#            G#        D#
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
