Chords for Cory Asbury - “These Are the Days” - Live @ Elevate Arizona 2022 - Highlands Church

You're my guy, you're my ride or die tonight man.
That's my [Db] guy up there, Mike.
[D] What's your last name?
Oh, [Gb] we won't say it.
We'll [G] connect after, I don't want to give your [Bm] information out.
What's your phone [Gb] number though?
_ _ _ [G] _
Social security?
No?
Okay.
[Ab] _ _ This is [G] the time of night where I tune my [Eb] guitar awkwardly.
So that's a lot of fun.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ [Eb] Yeah, it's kind of nice. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ Sometimes I like to just show off a little bit.
I don't [Ab] know, I'm just making my wife proud back home.
_ _ _ I'm just kidding.
[Eb] But I'm serious also.
[E] _ _ [G] How many of y'all have kids in here?
Or [Ebm] like not in the room, but you have kids?
_ Come on back, young boy.
You [G] populating the earth, I'll tell you what.
[Ab] You took him [Eb] serious when he said be fruitful and [Ab] multiply.
What's up buddy, I see you.
How you doing, big dog?
[Abm] How many of you guys are kids and you came with your parents?
That's [Cm] you, I think.
Yep, yep, yep.
[Eb] _ _ That's my crew right there.
Those are my guys.
And [Ab] girls. _ _ _ _
_ [E] You know_
[B] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] You _ know, when I [Bb] first_
I got four kids.
I [B] know you look at me, I'm like,
Oh, you can't be a day over 21, son. _
_ I got gray hair, man.
I got four kids.
My oldest [Bb] is Gabriel, he's 12 years old.
[Eb] Our only boy.
[Ab] We've got three girls.
We've got Lily, she's eight.
[F] River's five and Willow [Eb] is two and a half.
So our [Ab] house is just absolutely wild [Eb] all the time.
[Ab] And when I first had kids, you know,
an older guy [Bb] came up to me,
So, let's go to [Eb] go by fast.
I was like, man, [N] chill out. _
You know, like kind of that arrogant young guy thing.
It's like, oh, you're gonna be fine.
But he was like, no, for real, it's gonna go by fast.
I was like, man, chill.
Like, don't just take [Eb] care of your hips, bro.
Like, watch out for yourself.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] You [Ab] know what I mean?
_ Sorry, [G] strike that from the record.
[Eb] _
If you guys are videoing that, just, you know.
_ Sorry. _ _
_ _ _ _ But the truth is, I found it really does go by silly fast.
Like, it's ridiculous.
[Ab] They say, what is it?
The days are [Eb] long, but the years are short, right?
[C] If that ain't true.
[Ab] _ _ [Gb] Does it?
Yeah.
[B] I need like a pill to slow [Eb] down time.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
She's telling me to take drugs.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] MDM.
I was like, [Bb] what?
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [B]
I got lots of jokes.
[Bb] Trust me, we'll get there.
_ [Bbm] _ _
[Cm] So, I was sitting with one of my [C] buddies,
and [Eb] we were watching our kids play. _
_ And [Cm] he looked at me, and he said,
man, these are the days [Ab] we're gonna want that, Corey.
And I was like, _ [G] there's a song there.
[Eb] Let's write it.
[Eb] And we did.
It's called These Are The Days.
And if you're a parent, I can almost guarantee you,
you're gonna cry.
_ [Abm] If you're a kid, you'll be like,
what is this guy talking about?
I wanna go watch [Eb] some TikToks. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's called These Are The Days. _ _
_ The hospital home was a four [Ab] minute drive.
_ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] With the baby on board, it made it 35.
_ [Abm] _ _ _ I didn't sleep a wink that [Ab] night.
_ _ _ [Eb] Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes.
_ _ These [C] are the days that we'll want them back. _ _
_ _ When kindergarten [Cm] dropped off line.
_ _ [Eb] His first day of school, we didn't even cry.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] And that was when we knew they [Cm] lied. _ _
[Eb] They had a fun way of just passing us by.
[Abm] _ _
These are [Eb] the days that we'll want them [Bb] back.
_ _ So [Eb] tell them bedtime stories.
Give them a kiss [Bb] goodnight.
Just [Eb] before we know it, this old house will [Bb] be quiet.
[Eb] I know we're tired right now.
But someday we'll [Bb] laugh about it.
Let's slow it down [Eb] and raise a [Bb] glass.
Cause these are the days that we'll want them back.
_ _ _ _ _ It took us a day to build that _ [Ab] bike. _
[Eb] Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] Juggling dinner, school, and practice [Bb]
time.
_ _ [Eb] So trying to make it through to that glass of cheap [Abm] wine.
And these are the days [Eb] that we'll want them back.
_ [Ebm] _ _ So [Cm] tell them bedtime [Ab] stories.
Give them [Eb] a kiss goodnight.
Just before we know it, this old [Bb] house will be quiet.
[Eb] I know we're tired right now.
But someday [Bb] we'll laugh about it.
Let's slow it down [Eb] and raise a glass.
Cause these are the days that we'll want them back. _ _ _
And [F] all of the countless, [Eb] _ crazy, _ sleepless [Bb] nights.
[Fm] All of the first [Eb] and the last and the tears that we [Bb] cried.
[C] All of the how does this [Eb] work die.
And mom tell me [Bb] why sometimes [F] growing up [Eb] feels like goodbye.
Thanks _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ I would have cried [G] if _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] I was you.
There was a time when we were your [C] world.
_ _ [Bb] And now you're moving on to [Eb] marry your girl. _ _ _
_ And buy your house and call it [Ab] home.
[Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ And give her a life and some kids of her own.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] And tell them bedtime stories.
Give them a kiss goodnight.
[Bb] Just before you know it, that old house will be quiet.
[Bb] I know you're wild [Ab] right now.
But someday [Eb] we'll laugh about it.
[Bb] Let's slow it down and [Eb] toast to that.
[Ebm] _ _ Cause we'll [Cm] always be [Eb] your mom and [Bb] dad.
And [D] these are the [Eb] days that we'll want _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
them [Eb] back. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Sleeping on lego's at [Ab] night.
_ Afternoon tickle fights.
[Eb] And those midnight ranger eyes. _ _ _ _
We'll want them back.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ We'll want them [Eb] back. _ _ _
[Ab] We'll want them back.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Abm] And these are the days [Eb] that we'll want them back. _ _ _
