(verse 1) 
A                  D                       A 
In these last few days, you've been on my mind. 
                   D                           A - A/G# - F#m 
An' we should get together an' talk about old times. 
                    D        A/C#        E    F#m      
An' put the past behind us before life slips away. 
D                 E       D 
I been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days.  
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
A                  D                    A 
In these last few days, I have felt my age. 
                   D                                A - A/G# - F#m 
I wish that I was younger, but time has turned the page. 
                  D            A/C#   E     F#m 
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves. 
D                  E       D 
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days.  
 
 
(chorus) 
D                   E         A         
But I have been a father, a husband and a son. 
D                E            A 
Lookin' back is bitter sweet now that my race has run. 
D                   E                A/C#  E       F#m 
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave. 
D                  E      D 
Time has felt so precious in these last few days.

(verse 3) 
A                  D                         A 
In these last few days, I have seen the light. 
                     D                    A A/G# F#m 
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side. 
                D                        A/C#         E       F#m 
My old friend, I love you, that's really all there's left to say. 
D                E       D 
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.  
D                    E                 A/C#  E   F#m 
My old friend, I'll miss you, but I'm trying to be brave. 
D                E      D 
Lay down here beside me in these last few days.
