Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Motel, sitting in the dark,

empty room like an empty heart

Lovers stop but they never stay

They don't look back as they drive away

 Maybe I...

 Should fix this broken neon light

Fill in the cracks and paint it bright

Then maybe love will stop here tonight

And if she knocks on my door

 I'll give her the key

 Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be

 Everything that she sees in me

More than I ever thought I could be but...

Chorus

 These are the days

 When I all that I can do is dream

 But I don't wanna spend forever

 Living in the in between

 I'm stuck here in a place without love

 And I just can't let it stay this way

 But for now I'm gonna have to face it

 These are the days

I gotta use this lonely time

To change the picture in my frame of mind

 Outside the window there's a sunny day

 I wanna feel it on my face

 You and I...

We're out here looking for the same thing

An end to all the wondering

Waiting for someone to share this feeling

And if she knocks on my door

 I'll give her the key

 Just one look in her eyes and I know I'll be

 Everything that she sees in me

More than I ever thought I could be but...

Chorus

 These are the days

 When I all that I can do is dream

 But I don't wanna spend forever

 Living in the in between

 I'm stuck here in a place without love

 And I just can't let it stay this way

 But for now I'm gonna have to face it

 These are the days

 These are the days between your hopes and fears

 These are the moments that are still unclear

When it's still uncertain if she will appear

 But like it or not

 This is what I got

Chorus

2 x

 These are the days

 When I all that I can do is dream

 But I don't wanna spend forever

 Living in the in between

 I'm stuck here in a place without love

 And I just can't let it stay this way

 But for now I'm gonna have to face it

 These are the days
