[Verse 1]
Take your pick, raise the bet
Run for miles, break a sweat
Crash a car, pay your rent
Laze around, never quit
Say a prayer, smoke a zoot
Help yourself, write a tune
Fade away, tell the truth
Lie a lot, finish soon

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't be waiting on a moment, a moment
I stare into the sky and wonder where my life's gone
Sometimes I wish that I was frozen, you noticed?
But I must be overthinking, naturally I

[Chorus]
I let the days go by
I let days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let thе days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine

[Verse 2]
Call your friends, catch a plane
Play your cards, don't complain
Swеar a lot, never curse
Drink too much, sober up
Fall about, stand up straight
Make amends, make mistakes
Buy a house, burn it down
Make your bed, sleep around
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't be waiting on a moment, a moment
I stare into the sky and wonder where my life's gone
Sometimes I wish that I was frozen, you noticed?
But I must be overthinking, naturally I

[Chorus]
I let the days go by
I let days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
I let the days go by
I let days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine

[Verse 3]
Take your pick, raise the bet
Run for miles, break a sweat
Crash a car, pay your rent
Laze around, never quit
Say a prayer, smoke a zoot
Help yourself, write a tune
Fade away, tell the truth
Lie a lot, finish soon
[Chorus]
I let the days go by
I let days go, days go by
And don't think you'll lose your mind
So let the days go, days go by
And you'll feel fine
