Glory Days Are Gone  C. von Sneidern
 
intro: | Em G | Am C | (4x)
 
Em G | Am C | 
When we went out in to the field and picked a team
Em G | Am C | 
Some chosen first, the best ones suited to succeed
Em G | Am C | 
And no one wanted me for everyone could see
 Em G | 
How I won't, no I won't
 Am C | 
No, I won't know what will be
 
D | Am | Em | A |
So I take a side, far back enough to hide
 D | Am | Em G | Am C |
and think of years ago
 
Em G | Am C | 
When everybody got their school or picked a trade
Em G | Am C | 
They asked me what I¹m gonna do I've reached the age
Em G | Am C | 
If you don't choose you're gonna have it chose for you
Em G | 
And you won't, no you won't
 Am C | 
no, you won't be anything
 
D | Am | Em | A |
So I chose to fear, and make it my career
 D | Am | 
And thought how easy then
 Em G | D |
Those games in school had been
 
G | D | C | B7 |
Glory days are gone Glory days are gone 
G | D | Am C | D | Em G | Am C |
Glory days are gone And I feel that life was better then
 
 
Em G | Am C |
When all my friends bought second houses they were pleased
Em G | Am C |
The extra car, oh, should we buy or should we lease
Em G  | Am C |
well I took the bus and thought I'd maybe make my rent
 Em G | Am C |
On the first, or the third, or the seventh of the month
 
 D | Am | Em | A |
And as I rode along, that bus began to stall
 D | Am | Em G | D |
Allowed me time to think when I had choice at all
 
G | D | C | B7 |
Glory days are gone my glory days are gone 
G | D | Am C | D | D |
Glory days are gone 'cause I feel my life was better then
 
 C B7 | 
The past: a glorious 
Em B7 | C D | G G/F# |
time much better remembered while it's going by
C B7 | Em D | C | B7 |
Stop! Whatever you do will never erase what you're going through
 
(solo) Em G | Am C | Em G | Am C |
 
 
Em G | Am C |
I cannot see, I barely hear you anymore
Em G | Am C |
I've grown so bitter over time for I am old
Em G | Am C |
And I regret my fifteen minutes in the light
 Em G | Am (2/4 bar) | C | C |
If I don't, if I don't regret instead I must admit
 
G | D | C | B7 |
Glory days are gone your glory days are gone 
G | D | Am C | D |
Glory days are gone If you think your life was all for then
  Am C | D |
And you think your life must have an end
 Am C | D | D | D | D |
So you fear your life is at its end
