Same Old Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I[Dm][D]
was just a young man,
workin' steady in a good time band
[G]Pickin'[D] every single little lic[Bm]k I could,
[E]just to please a [A]man
Old [D]Harlan sang the deeper half
and [G]we split up the [D]rest
Hangin' on through the heavy times
and [C]holdin' [G]for the be[D]st
And I [G]can't recall the names
[A]of all[G] them pla[D]ces that we played in
[A]All them swirly party girls
and [G]girls we used [D]to bop
[G]Hardly ever [A]sleepin' [G]in them
[D]cheap motels we [Bm]stayed in
Hop[E]in' we could take it
till we'd [A]make it to the top
An[D]d them nights got a little bit b[G]righter
And them [A]bars got a little bit [D]better
And the sweet
Just a little bit [G]sweeter
Than them [A]blue
Well it's still the same old [D]song[E]
And now there's stars a -shinin'
On them primetime TV shows
If a stranger [C#m]knows our name
And [F#]every little where [B]we go
[E]Finding out the bottom
Ain't so [A]different from [E]the top
Just a few more friends
And you'll be [D]losing [A]any prob[E]lem
I've [A]left some of my [B]soul
On [A]every sweat[E]er sheet
That I could sleep on
[B]Gettin' just as close to any[A]body as [E]I could
I [A]don't regret a [B]single bed
[A]I've lai[E]d my body dow[C#m]n on
[F#]Ever since the first I had,
the [B]worst I had [F#m]was good
And them [E]nights got a little bit [A]brighter
Just the [B]fog
Get a little bit [E]better
And the street
Just a little bit [A]smaller
But damn [B]blue
It's like being in a trident
without [E]no money
[D][A][E]
