C    C/B      Am7  Am7/G  F
I've been out walking

These Days

These days I seem to think a lot
                                  Cmaj7   G  Dsus4/G
about the things that I forgot to do
     C  C/B  Am7  Am7/G F
And all the times I had the chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
these days
These times I seem to think about
how all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think there is another these days
these days
And if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song
Its just that I've been losing so long

Da da da da dahhh
da dahhh

I stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much schemeing these days
these days
These days I sit on corner stones
and count the time in quarter tones to ten

Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them

No Picture Razor Wanna Be	#1 by Razor Edge at Jan 15, 1973 at 5:21 AM EST
	It was written about daryll hannah by Jackson Browne. I think it's a pretty good version, better than the Jackson Browne original but not better than the version from the Jackson Browne/Warren Zevon acoustic set.

No Picture Gabe Average	#2 by Gabe Hawkins at Aug 6, 1973 at 1:19 AM EST
	I love this song.. I will always think about Gwenyth getting off the bus in slow motion, when i hear this song. That was a great scene.

No Picture Average	#3 by KitCat at Feb 20, 1975 at 10:58 AM EST
	"these days" was on jackson browne's album "for everyman", released in 1973. "these days" was originally released on nico's "chelsea girl" album in 1968. paul morrissey arranged for nico to sing in a small bar underneath the dom called stanley's. after a few weeks of nico singing alone unknown folk singer tim buckley was hired to accompany her. later he was replaced with an unknown jackson browne who morrissey discovered sitting at the bar - jackson browne having come there to hear tim buckley. browne ended up writing some of the tracks on nico's first solo album, chelsea girl as well as performing on it. jackson browne then lived with nico for a bit.

No Picture Anthony Average	#4 by Anthony at Jul 8, 1977 at 9:11 PM EST
	this song is the best! i love it. it makes me sad though but reminds me of myself.

No Picture leester Professional	#5 by leester at Nov 11, 1980 at 2:40 PM EST
	Well Jackson Browne wrote it but Nico's version was the original. It's a great song about someone relaxing in life and learning to not take slow down.

No Picture dimebag 66' Average	#6 by dimebag 66' at Mar 22, 1982 at 9:03 PM EST
	I think it's "life I've made in song," not "sob." I think this is my favorite song. I heard that neither Jackson Browne nor Nico were pleased with this version, but I love it. It just sounds so warm and reflective.

No Picture Gabe Average	#7 by Gabe Hawkins at Feb 13, 1983 at 3:40 AM EST
	this song don't mean shit to me. it was on the Royal Tenenbaums, and was stuck in my friggin head. so yeah.

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#8 by Christian Chavez at Jul 5, 1984 at 6:04 PM EST
	This is actually a Jackson Browne song, but ya know whatever. I first heard it in the Royal Tenenbaums movie too, and that soundtrack is by for one of the best soundtracks ever.

No Picture Dan Average	#9 by Dan Christopher at Jun 20, 1995 at 2:56 PM EST
	I think this song is really just a reflection of life. Some days you sit and just think about everything you've done and everything you haven't. How much you've changed, or not. I agree with 'sweetadeline' about the last line, such a good lyric.

No Picture zoe Wanna Be	#10 by zoe cherrie at Jun 7, 1996 at 2:39 AM EST
	It's definitely NOT written about Daryl Hannah. The song was written in the mid '60s, I don't even know if she was alive then.

No Picture metal-cat Average	#11 by metal-cat stepheria at Jun 13, 1996 at 4:27 PM EST
	Nico's voice is just phenomenal, she fills the song with such a sense of prespective and wisdom. My favorite lines are the last two, definitely they are relatable.

No Picture Flappy Average	#12 by Flappy Bob at Oct 2, 1997 at 10:11 AM EST
	This song is much better by Jackson Browne. All of his lyrics have a personal meaning to me as if they were written about my life. This song takes me back to a time when I went through a very traumatic time, hoping that things would get better, one of these days, for me.

No Picture Jay Dizzle Wanna Be	#13 by Jay Dizzle holden at Jan 13, 2005 at 12:25 AM EST
	LOVE THIS SONG! I dont know why though.

No Picture joel Average	#14 by joel christman at Mar 9, 2007 at 6:24 AM EST
	this song makes me think about the Royal Tennenbaums. What a great movie.

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#15 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Apr 5, 2007 at 3:00 PM EST
	I love this song, and The Royal Tenenbaums. Everytime I hear this I see Gwenyth Paltrow in my head, getting off that bus. Good song. Good movie. I love Nico's voicing.

No Picture Jesus Professional	#16 by Jesus at Apr 16, 2007 at 1:25 PM EST
	ever had a song that can sum up all your thoughts and feelings...yeah, this is mine. i found nico through velvet underground. I never knew who the female voice was on femme fatale or all tommorrows parties...I am happy i looked into her more
