Nothing But The Same Old Story Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 IEm was just about niCneteen G

 WChen I laDnded on theGir shore

 WDith my eyes Bm7big as headlights

 LCike the thousanDds and thCousands who came before

 IG was going to be something

 IBm7 smiled at the Cman scrutiniDsing my faGce

 ADs I stepped down off tEmhe gangwayA Em A

Came down to their city

Where I worked for many's the year

Built a hundred houses

Must've pulled half a million pints of beer

Living under suspicion

Putting up with the hatred and fear in their eyes

You can see that your nothing but a murderer

In their eyes, we're nothing but a bunch of murderers

Chorus

 HEmey JohCnny, can't waiGt 'til Saturday nighCt D G

 GDot a thiBm7rst that's raging

 KCnow a plDace where Cwe can put that right

 WGash away thBm7e confusion

 HCose down Dthis fire inside

 BGut look out!

 ID'll tear you into pieces if yEmou cross me

I'm sick of watching them break up

Every time some bird brain puts us down

Making jokes on the radio

Guess it helps them all drown out the sound

Of the crumbling foundations

Any fool can see the writing on the wall

But they just don't believe that it's happening

There's a crowd says I'm alright

Say they like my turn of phrase

Take me round to their parties

Like some dressed up monkey in a cage

And I play my accordian

Oh, but when the wine seeps through the facade

It's nothing but the same old story

Nothing but the same old story

Chorus

Got a brother in Boston

Says he'll send me on the fare

Just wrote me a letter

Making out that he's cleaning up out there

Two cars in the driveway

Summer house way down on the Cape

And I know that he's fix me up in the morning

I've been thinking about it

But it seems so far to go

People say in the winter

You'd get lost underneath the snow

And there's this girl from my home place

We've been planning to move back and give it a try

So I never got around to going

That's why I never got around to going

Chorus
