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
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

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
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

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
