Am  Am  A11  Am
Am  Am  Am7  Am
Am  Am  A11

[Verse 1]
Am  F       G       Am
A sad fact widely known
          A11 Am
The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
       F          G   Am
Is so easily outgrown
Am                                        A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you smile
         F           G          Am
And the songs that made you cry
 Am                 A11      Am
When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
          F         G                 Am
And said "oh, oh, smother me mother"

[Chorus]
F           Em        F           Em         Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F    Em            F           Em         Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F    Em               F          G       Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

[Verse 2]
     Am             A11  Am
The passing of time and all of its crimes
     F        G        Am
Is making me sad again
   Am               A11            Am
The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
    F         G         Am
Is making me sad again
Am                                        A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you cry
         F           G          Am
And the songs that saved your life
 Am                 A11            Am
Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine
                   F             G                 Am
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

[Chorus]
F  Em  F  Em  Am  x2
F  Em  F  G  Am

[Verse 3]
     Am             A11    Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F       G            Am
waiting to be filled
     Am            Am7   Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F       G            Am
waiting to be filled
Am                                        A11 Am
I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch
         F            G            Am
In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)
Am                                 A11    Am
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living
         F                     G                   Am
Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly

[Chorus]
F           Em        F           Em         Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F    Em            F           Em         Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F    Em               F          G       Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

[Middle]
Am  C   D               F
Do you love me like you used to?
E       F  G
Oh...

[Chorus]
F           Em        F           Em         Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F    Em            F           Em         Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F    Em               F          G       Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

[Outro]
F           Em        F           Em         Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F    Em            F           Em         Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F    Em               F          G       Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
F           Em        F           Em         Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F    Em            F           Em         Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F    Em               F          G       Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
