           Bm7  E   F#m7
You need a new song
                               E
I'll set the words up so they tear
right at your soul
              Bm7  E   F#m7
Don't take me too long
                                 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
chewing down at my nails.
C
My hairline ain't exactly
superstar, but there's
one trick that never fails,
this never fails.

Chorus:
             F        D#         A#
I write the same old song with a few new lines
    F          D#        A#
And everybody wants to cheer it
             F             D#          A#
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
   F               D#       C
Admit you really wanna hear it

Whenever I see you
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man
Just 'cause I please you
You explain, but you don't think I can understand

Chorus:
My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul
Nothing really ever changes my friend
New lamps for old
New lamps for old

We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
You can look, but you won't ever drive it
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
We get hung over but we always survive it

 F                  G
Turn on the radio, love is proclaimed
  F                   G
again and again and again
 F                      G
Join in and sing, now, don't be ashamed,
        F                         G
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.
         F           G            Am           G7
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
         Am  G  F   F  Bsus4  B
Let it rain.

            F        D#        A#
We hum the same old line to a different crowd
    F          D#        A#
And everybody wants to cheer it
          F            D#         A#
We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud
     F              D#     A#
But never ever seem to get near it
             F        D# A# F
We sing the same old song
     D#   A#
Same old song

We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
You can look, but you won't ever drive it
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
We get hung over but we always survive it
We sing the same old song
