Cian Ducrot - How Do You Know

[Intro] (Fading In)
D

[Verse 1] (Start Beat)
D G
How do you know, do you know that
Bm Asus4
the good days are now while you’re living them out?
D G
Someone’s off in the corner,
Bm Asus4
pitching a fire all on their own.
D G
Someone’s calling their friends
Bm Asus4
while you’re missing them and they’re so far from home.
D G
All the lads in the corner,
Bm Asus4
singing to daughters and dancing around.
D G
Half a Jack on the table
Bm A
’cause no one’s been able to drink it all down.

[Chorus 1]
Bm A D
Well, we don’t know the words but we’re singing
G A
’cause these are the times.
D G
So, how do you know, do you know
Bm A
that the good days are now while you’re living them out?
D G
And how do you know, do you know
Bm A
that the ones that you’re living are the ones you’ll be missing?

[Chorus 2]
Bm A D
Well, we don’t know the words but we’re singing
G A
’cause these are the times.
D G
So, how do you know, do you know
Bm A
that the good days are now while you’re living them out, right now?

[Interlude]
D G Bm A
Lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala.
D G Bm A D
Lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala.

[Verse 2]
D G
One lost touch in the summer,
Bm Asus4
moved to the suburbs, probably settled down.
D G
I’m not sure ’bout the others,
Bm Asus4
one lost his brother, and one moves around.
D G
I still think of that night:
Bm A
did we have it all right? Still, we all searched for more.
D G
So now, when I sit ’round the table,
Bm A
I wish we were able to sing it like before.

[Chorus 1]
Bm A D
Well, we don’t know the words but we’re singing
G A
’cause these are the times.
D G
So, how do you know, do you know
Bm A
that the good days are now while you’re living them out?
D G
And how do you know, do you know
Bm A
that the ones that you’re living are the ones you’ll be missing?

[Chorus 3]
Bm A D
Well, we don’t know the words but we’re singing
G A
’cause these are the times.
Bm A D
Well, we don’t know the words but we’re singing
G A
’cause these are the times, right now.

[Interlude]
D G Bm A
Lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala.
D G Bm A
Lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala.

[Outro]
D G
All that’s left is the photo,
Bm Asus4
I don’t even know who took it back then.
D G
Who’d have thought in the moment
Bm A
that I’d get to hold all that’s left in the end?
