Bm7 E/D F#m7
You need a new song
E A/E D6/E A/E
I’ll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Bm7 E/D F#m7
Don’t take me too long
E A/E D6/E A/E
But there’s a danger that I’ll plagiarize something old

Bm7 A
My fingers kill me as I play my guitar ‘cuz I’ve been
Dmaj7/A A D/A A
chewing down at my nails.

My hairline ain’t exactly superstar, but there’s

one trick that never fails, this never fails.

[Chorus]
F Eb Bb
I write the same old song with a few new lines
F Eb Bb
And everybody wants to cheer it
F Eb Bb
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
F Eb
Admit you really wanna hear it

Whenever I see you
E A/E D6/E A/E
You always treat me like I’m some kind of perfect man
Bm7 E/D F#m7
Just ‘cause I please you
E A/E D6/E A/E
You explain, but you don’t think I can understand

Bm A
My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen, ‘cause I’ve been

Dmaj7/A D/A A C/Bb Csus4 C/A Csus4
pouring vodka in my soul Nothing really ever changes, my friend

C/Ab Csus4 C/G Csus4 C7sus4 C
New lamps for old, new lamps for old

[Chorus]
F Eb Bb
We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car

We get hung over but we always survive it
