Strange Days Are Here To Stay(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:
     E5 
We stumble down the avenue 
      C#5 
Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo 
        A5 
They promised us forever 
           E5   B5 
But we got less 

        E5 
There's no such thing as promises 
      C#5 
Just secret codes from alphabets 
       A5 
They promised us forever 
            E5  B5 
But we got less 

Pre-Chorus
A5 
These are the best of times 
E5 
Twisted and borrowed times 
C#5                         A5  B5 
These are the loneliest of times 


E5       B5               A5 
Strange days are here to stay 
E5           B5 
Ever since Bowie died 
    C#5             A5 
It hasn't been the same 
E5              B5 
All the madmen going mental 
A5                   C5 
Grandma's on the fentanyl now 
E5       B5               A5 
Strange days are here to stay 


Verse 2:
E5 
This is how the world will end 
      C#5 
When superheroes play pretend 
       A5 
They promised us forever 
            E5  B5 
But we got less 

     E5 
It's the return of the blob 
     C#5 
And Jesus gonna quit his job 
     A5 
He promised us forever 
            E5  B5 
But we got less 

Pre-Chorus
A5 
These are the best of times 
E5 
Twisted and borrowed times 
C#5                         A5  B5 
These are the loneliest of times 


E5       B5                A5 
Strange days are here to stay 
E5           B5 
Everyone is racist 
        C#5             A5 
And the Uber's running late 

E5             B5 
I just lost my sense of humor 
A5              C5          E5 
Gen-z killing, baby boomer now 
         B5               A5 
Strange days are here to stay 


Bridge:
C#5    G#5 
Lonely boy 
        A5            E5 
With a heart made of hate 
E5         B5 
Baby Babylon 
            A5               B5 
And making guns made out of clay 

Base Solo: E5  G#5  A5  E5  B5 

Verse 3:
F#5 
Are we in hell? 
            B5 
Or is this just a fantasy? 
A5 
I can't see this ending well 
F#5           B5       E5 
Now that it's too late 


                          A5 
Strange days are here to stay 
E5           B5 
Ever since Bowie died 
    C#5             A5 
It hasn't been the same 
E5              B5 
All the madmen going mental 
A5                   C5 
Grandma's on the fentanyl now 
E5       B5               A5 
Strange days are here to stay 
E5       B5               A5 
Strange days are here to stay 
E5       B5               A5   E5 
Strange days are here to stay
