Dmaj7 Em7 A7sus4 (x2)

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Seems you've been rustlin' earlier
          Em7               A7sus4
Since the golden days came around
Dmaj7
Sometimes you're thinkin' you're too high to fall
        Em7                     A7sus4
But you never want to make that sound
            Dmaj7  Em7 A7sus4
You're really livin'
                          Dmaj7 Em7 A7sus4
You got the power and the glory
                 Dmaj7            Em7 A7sus4
You're going to ride the whirlpool
             Dmaj7
You've got your freedom but it's nothin'
             Em7                      A7sus4
Cause you've never known it any other way
      Dmaj7
Got your freedom but it's nothin'
             Em7                  A7sus4
Cause you've never been without it

[Chorus]
                Em    A7    Dmaj7 D6
You're savin' a smile for tomorrow
         Em        A7               Dmaj7 D6
Savin' a laugh for nineteen-seventy-nine
         Em    A7    F#m7 B7
Savin' a smile for tomorro-w
Em7   A7sus4                    Dmaj7
Cause first thing you know it's here
Em7 A7sus4                    Dmaj7
    First thing you know it's here

Em7 A7sus4 Dmaj7 Em7 A7sus4

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Friends seem harder to come by now
          Em7                A7sus4
Since the golden days came around
Dmaj7
Sometimes you're thinkin' you're too far gone
         Em7                      A7sus4
But your feet have never left the ground
           Dmaj7
You're really livin'
Em7 A7sus4                  Dmaj7       Em7 A7sus4

You're living proof of goodness
             Dmaj7
You've got your freedom but it's nothin'
             Em7                      A7sus4
Cause you've never known it any other way
      Dmaj7
Got your freedom but it's nothin'
             Em7                  A7sus4
Cause you've never been without it

[Chorus]
                Em    A7    Dmaj7 D6
You're savin' a smile for tomorrow
         Em        A7               Dmaj7 D6
Savin' a laugh for nineteen-seventy-nine
         Em    A7    F#m7 B7
Savin' a smile for tomorro-w
Em7   A7sus4                    Dmaj7
Cause first thing you know it's here
Em7 A7sus4                    Dmaj7
    First thing you know it's here

Save a laugh for nineteen-seventy-nine
       Em    A7    F#m7 B7
Save a smile for tomorro-w
Em7   A7sus4                    Dmaj7
Cause first thing you know it's here
Em7 A7sus4                    Dmaj7
    First thing you know it's here
