[Verse]
D A D
Just like this old rocking chair
F G
I move but I'm going nowhere
A D G
A junked out old casen too worn from the wear
E A
Too thin to be used as a spare
D A D
My dreams of a lifetime are gone
F G
Old friends that I once counted on
A D G
Nobody quite got the drift of my songs
E A
Like me there a bit overdone
[Chorus]
D A D
I don't seem to fit anywhere
F G
Just like these old clothes that I wear
A D G
I feel bout as short as the length of my hair
A D
And I don't seem to fit anywhere
[Verse]
D A D
These new fangled folks now a days
F G
They laugh at my old fashioned ways
A D G
I may have done better if I learned not to care
A D
Cause I don't seem to fit anywhere
[Chorus]
D A D
I don't seem to fit anywhere

Just like these old clothes that I wear
