EmDEmD
[Verse 1]
EmD
Caviar on the table, Champagne in the glass
EmD
We laughed and we jeered at the poor working class
EmD
We drank to their ruin, we drank to their shame
GB7
We pissed on their problems, said they were to blame
EmD
Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then
Em
The way we lived then
[Verse 2]
EmD
Jason wore braces and slicked his hair down
EmD
Ben had the number of each deb in town
EmD
I was a member of every new club
GB7
And I used my gold card to pay every sub
EmD
For the way we lived then, the way we lived then
Em
The way we lived then
[Chorus]
D
Oh, the way we lived then
Em
Selling Deutschmark or Yen
D
Never thinking of where did it come from
CB7
How long would it last us, or when
EmD
Would we all have to pay for this mad holiday
GD
For the Porsche and the Rolls that were our only goals
B7
Me and Jason and Ben
EmDEmD
Oh, the way we lived then
[Verse 3]
EmD
Jason met Sarah, a girl in P.R.
EmD
They had a white wedding, all paid for by Pa
EmD
Borrowed a fortune to buy their first pad
GB7
It was two hundred K, but then prices were mad
EmD
The way we lived then, the way we lived then
Em
The way we lived then
[Verse 4]
EmD
Jason said, three years, we'll sell and move on
EmD
Then suddenly, we turned and Maggie was gone
EmD
Ben said, don't worry, she's schooled them all well
GB7
So, we drank to the sending of a message to hell
EmD
Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then
Em
The way we lived then
[Chorus]
D
Oh, the way we lived then
Em
Selling Deutschmark or Yen
D
Never thinking of where did it come from
CB7
How long would it last us, or when
EmD
Would we all have to pay for this mad holiday
GD
For the Porsche and the Rolls that were our only goals
B7
Me and Jason and Ben
EmDEmD
Oh, the way we lived then
[Verse 5]
EmD
Sarah got pregnant, then Jason got fired
EmD
Ben took a pay cut and I felt too tired
EmD
Burnt out at thirty and sacked on the day
GB7
The repo man took my red Roller away
EmD
Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then
Em
The way we lived then
[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
EmD
Now there's bread on the table and beer in the glass
EmD
But it's merely a set back for breeding and class
EmD
Monopoly money means 'always pass go'
GB7
And we'll surely pass you if you're going too slow
EmD
And we'll live it again, the way we lived then
Em
We'll live it again
[Chorus]
D
Yes, we'll live it again
Em
Selling Deutschmark or Yen
D
Only this time we'll know where it comes from
CB7
We'll know how to keep it, and then
EmD
We'll make someone else pay for our mad holiday
GD
For the Porsche and the Rolls that are our only goals
B7
Me and Jason and Ben
EmD
We'll live it again
EmD
The way we lived then
EmDEmDEmDEmDEm
We'll live it again
