         C                      
 In the days when we had nothing
         D               
 And the rent was overdue
    G                 
 We never ever worried
          G7            C      
 And we'd always see it through
 
 We didn't mind the hard times
         D                
 We just said 'I love you'
        G                G7             C   
 In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
 
             Am                        
 But now the mortgage won't get smaller
 And the rates are on the rise
     D                       
 The bills come every morning
       G              G7  
 And I find to my surprise
             C               E            
 That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
     F              Fm  
 And all that money buys
        C                G       G7     C   
 In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
 
        C                       
 In the days when we had nothing
         D                       
 But the dreams we knew we shared
            G                             
 There were empty shelves and old tin cans
     G7            C    
 But neither of us cared
 
 We said 'we can't' we knew we shouldn't
         D             
 Then we went and dared
        G                G7               C 
 In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
 
             Am                        
 But now the mortgage won't get smaller
 And the rates are on the rise
     D                       
 The bills come every morning
       G              G7  
 And I find to my surprise
             C               E            
 That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
     F              Fm  
 And all that money buys
        C                G       G7     C   
 In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
 
        C                       
 In the days when we had nothing
        D                  
 We had everything and more
        G                  
 We had all the years ahead
                G7            C  
 And there were years ahead below
 But it's taken all those years for me
    D                     
 To find what living's for
          G                  G7                  C 
 Let's forget that we've got something and have fun
 
              Am                        
 'Cos now the mortgage won't get smaller
 
 And the rates are on the rise
     D                       
 The bills come every morning
       G              G7  
 And I find to my surprise
             C               E            
 That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
     F              Fm  
 And all that money buys
         C               G7     
 In the days when we had nothing
         C               G7     
 In the days when we had nothing
         C               G       G7      C  
 In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
