Album: Satisfaction Guaranteed

Capo 1 (Recorded in Bb)

      D                 A         E        A
(And these will be the best years of your life)

A                                     D               A
You say your heart is broken that my love was just a token
                                       E
You say this parting touch you like a knife
    A                               D                       A
But if you let it grieve you, your youth would surely leave you
       D                   A         E        A
Cause these should be the best years of your life

   E                                 D            A
I know it won't be easy, cause your memories are busy
                                             E
And yet you're still too young for all the strife
           A                             D             A
So let me tell you like a brother go on out and find another
      D                A          E       A
And these will be the best years of your life


Instrumental: Bb-D#-Bb-F-Bb

A                               D                  A
You say that taste is bitter because you loved a quitter
                                    E
But I'm not free to take you for a while
        A                          D           A
You're lucky that it's over cause somehow you recover
     D                 A          E       A
And these will be the best years of your life

   E                                 D            A
I know it won't be easy, cause your memories are busy
                                             E
And yet you're still too young for all the strife
           A                             D             A
So let me tell you like a brother go on out and find another
      D                A          E       A
And these will be the best years of your life

E        A
of your life
