[Verse]
F  G      Bb        C            
O kay, it started a long time ago
F    G              Asus A Aadd9 A 
When I was a little boy  
Sometimes a little one don't do what he's told
And mother puts back his toy
[Chorus]
                                Dmaj7     
Yes, there is something you can do my love
          Dadd9                 G              
Won't you help me through these troubled times?
    Bb         C   
And serve to remind
                            Dmaj7     
That everything is going to be alright
  Dadd9             G           
Despite my fighting bitter tears
Bb            C         D    
These are the very best years
[Verse]
These days father's not the man that we knew
And you know we get so old.
That's when you find me alone with my will
And my wine and my scars to show.
[Chorus]
Yes there is something you can do my love
Won't you help me through these troubled times?
And serve to remind
That everything is going to be alright
Despite my fighting bitter tears
These are the very best years.
[Bridge]
I was just five years old
Had this dream that took me far away from here
Today where my hopes and fears are gathered around
Can't you feel it hanging 'round
[Chorus]
Yes, there is something you can do my love
Won't you help me through these troubled times?
And serve to remind
That everything is going to be alright
Despite my fighting bitter tears
That serve to remind
Yes everything is going to be alright
These are the very best years
