Tom: D

D
Light a fire, burn up
Bm
All you know, you've had
D
So much time, just to
Bm
Let things go, and now you're
G
Burning letters out
A                       D
in the snow in your backyard

[Verse 2]
D
Years go rolling, you're
Bm
Thirty-three, it's time
D
For the cross or the
Bm
Bodhi Tree, but you'd
G
Like to cry when you
A                         D
Skin your knee, man, it's hard

[Chorus 1]
             G                   A
And it's the same old friends on New Year's Eve
    G                      A
The same snow falls on the same old leaves
    G                    A
And there's the same old joy
                 Bm
And the same old hurt
A                 D
Same old corduroy shirt

[Verse 3]
D
Old storm windows, the
Bm
broke-tail squirrel, and the
D
Grocery lists and the
Bm
Skateboard girls, and your
G
Rusty brain cells give
A               D
You a twirl, oh no

[Verse 4]
D
Kitchen radio,
Bm
Coffee's on, aw, you'd
D
Like a month you could
Bm
Lean up on, but this
G
Open road wants to
A                     D
Get you gone, off you go

[Chorus 2]
             G               A               G
And it's the same old jar of car keys by the door
             A
The same old scuffed up floor
    G                   A
The same old thirst for more
                          Bm
Until they put you in the dirt

[Finale]
            G                A
Oh it's the same old nights alone, the same old
 G              A
"Baby, when you coming home?"
   G                 A
To feel the same old joy?
                 Bm
Oh, the same old hurt?
A                 D
Same old corduroy shirt
A                 D
Same old corduroy shirt
