[Intro]
D G D A 2x
[Verse]
D G
I?m going to dress up tonight
D A
And I?ll look real pretty for I don?t know who
D G
I?ll find my own way around this great big city
D A
And I?m gonna sit at a bar and I?ll have a drink
D G
I?ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings
D A
I know you like to visit them from time to time
D G/F# G
And like a thief I steal the words you write to her
D A
I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine
[Chorus]
D G
But this is nothing new
D A
But it ain?t nothing
D G
Well this is nothing new
D A
But it ain?t nothing
[Instrumental]
D G D Dsus4 D G D A
[Verse]
D G
You long for sweetness does mine make you sickly
D A
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
D G/F# G
There?s nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
D A
It?s ugly and it?s cold and tonight it?s out for hire
[Chorus]
D G
But this is nothing new
D A
But it ain?t nothing
D G
Well this is nothing new
D A
But it ain?t nothing
[Instrumental]
D G D Dsus4 D G D A
[Bridge]
G A
We live through this day after day
G A
And complacency?s a curse but you just can?t escape it
G A
And I?ve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way
G G/F# G A
And I struggle to hold my head up high
[Outro]
G D
But it ain?t nothing new
G A
This is nothing new
D
Ohhhhh yeahhh
