Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, G major]
Hey now
Oh
[Verse 1]
[acoustic guitar continues, clean electric guitar enters with sustained notes]
Control the thoughts
And the fields of green
And the rivers run
Now, now
Are you on set?
[Chorus]
[drums enter, full band arrangement]
Those days are gone
Those days are gone to stay
Those days are gone
And the sun's light there
And wish them all away
[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar, bass, and light percussion]
So many times today
You had to fit your mind
You've told the stars to run away and play
Hey
[Chorus]
[full band, driving drums, crash cymbals]
Those days are gone
Those days are gone (oh)
Those days are gone, don't give me some
Those days are gone
And the papers in the past
[Bridge]
[vocal intensity increases, raspy delivery]
I was there, I was everywhere
I was always on your side
I was not the man to wash you all away
You were tangled in a web with someone else
[Chorus]
[heavy strumming, layered vocal harmonies]
Those days are here (oh)
Those days are gone
Hey now
I don't want them to stay forever
Those days are gone
[Outro]
[drums drop out, acoustic guitar and bass only]
Down in the bottom
First it's the only one
The only one to hold your soul
There I go
Oh
You know I met my, met my next day
On the 35 with money in my hand
First I had to buy a house or something new
I was loving
I was loving you
Oh, oh, oh
