Em                       D 
Caviar on the table, Champagne in the glass  
   Em                           D 
We laughed and we jeered at the poor working class  
   Em                      D 
We drank to their ruin, we drank to their shame  
   G                              B7 
We pissed on their problems, said they were to blame

Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then 
    Em 
The way we lived then

Em                D 
I was a member of every new club  
      G                    B7 
And I used my gold card to pay every sub  
        Em                     D 
For the way we lived then, the way we lived then 
    Em

Selling Deutschmark or Yen  
                  D  
Never thinking of where did it come from  
    C                         B7 
How long would it last us, or when  
                     Em                   D 
Would we all have to pay for this mad holiday  
                        G                        D 
For the Porsche and the Rolls that were our only goals

Borrowed a fortune to buy their first pad  
       G                       B7 
It was two hundred K, but then prices were mad  
    Em                     D 
The way we lived then, the way we lived then  
    Em  
The way we lived then

Jason said, three years, we'll sell and move on  
     Em                      D 
Then suddenly, we turned and Maggie was gone  
Em                           D 
Ben said, don't worry, she's schooled them all well 
       G                         B7 
So, we drank to the sending of a message to hell

Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then  
    Em  
The way we lived then

Would we all have to pay for this mad holiday  
                        G                        D 
For the Porsche and the Rolls that were our only goals

Burnt out at thirty and sacked on the day

The repo man took my red Roller away

Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then 
    Em 
The way we lived then

Verse 6 
            Em                     D 
Now there's bread on the table and beer in the glass  
         Em                    D 
But it's merely a set back for breeding and class  
  Em                  D 
Monopoly money means 'always pass go' 
          G                         B7 
And we'll surely pass you if you're going too slow  
          Em                 D 
And we'll live it again, the way we lived then  
      Em 
We'll live it again

Yes, we'll live it again

Only this time we'll know where it comes from  
      C                        B7 
We'll know how to keep it, and then  
                        Em                  D 
We'll make someone else pay for our mad holiday
