Verse 1
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 Em D Oh, the way we lived then, the way we lived then Em The way we lived then
Verse 2
Em D Jason wore braces and slicked his hair down Em D Ben had the number of each deb in town 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 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 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 B7 Me and Jason and Ben Em D Em D Oh, the way we lived then
Verse 3
Em D Jason met Sarah, a girl in P.R. Em D They had a white wedding, all paid for by Pa Em D 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
Verse 4
Em D 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 Em D 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 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 B7 Me and Jason and Ben Em D Em D Oh, the way we lived then
Verse 5
Em D Sarah got pregnant, then Jason got fired Em D Ben took a pay cut and I felt too tired Em D Burnt out at thirty and sacked on the day G B7 The repo man took my red Roller away Em D 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
Chorus
D Yes, we'll live it again Em Selling Deutschmark or Yen D 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 G D For the Porsche and the Rolls that are our only goals B7 Me and Jason and Ben Em D We'll live it again Em D The way we lived then Em D Em D Em D Em D Em We'll live it again
