Lovely little forgotten song off the Reality album. I've posted a capo version (on the 3rd fret),
because it isn't much fun to play without a capo personally. It's played on acoustic so sounds
much better with mostly open chords.
 
Capo 3rd fret
 
 
[Intro]
Em   G   Em   G
 
[Verse 1]
Em
   Hold me tight
G
  Keep me cool
Em
   Going mad
           G
Don't know what to do
A             C
  Do I need a friend
        G
Well, I need one now
 
[Chorus]
D                    C
  All the days of my life
D                    C
  All the days of my life
D                    Em   G   Em   G
  All the days I owe you
 
[Verse 2]
Em
   All I've done
G
  I've done for me
Em
   All you gave 
    G
You gave for free
A                     C
  I gave nothing in return
                   G
And there's little left of me
 
[Chorus]
D                    C
  All the days of my life
D                    C
  All the days of my life
D                    Em   G   Em   G
  All the days I owe you
 
[Bridge]
   C                 C/B              Am         C
In red eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again
   G             G/F#     Em                D
My crazy brain entangles, pleading for your gentle voice
C                   C/B                 Am
  Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart 
C               G               D
  I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul
 
[Outro]
                   C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   Em  Emmaj7  Em7
All the days I owe you
        Em6        C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   Em  Emmaj7  Em7
All the days I owe you
        Em6        C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   C                        D
All the days of my life (All the days of my life)
                   Em  Emmaj7  Em7
All the days I owe you
        Em6
All the days

stowe07 Your open chord selection makes "Days" playable while singing for me, thanks!

I really think the capo version is the right version however, it's not a G# shape, it's actually just G.

Thank You!! I looked at the no capo version and my hand started to ache looking at so many fretted chords. The only problem is the D chord that is played when "your gentle voice" is sung, it doesn't sound right to me, but maybe there is something wrong with my ears.
