[Verse 1]
Em7add11
What does it mean to wake out of a dream and be
D                         G/B  C9
Wearing some else's shorts?
      D                              B7/Eb  B7
I've been around the block, at least on my bike
         Em                     G            G/B   C9
I was prepared for the news but not for full scale war.
               Am7           G
I found me an answer, in a grocery store
               Am7                     G4/B
I found me an answer in the form of an old man with
  C                  D                   Em7
a cardigan on, this guy's got thirty years on me but
 D4/F#          G                 C9
he stops and smiles just to say "Hello,
                 Am7
didn't I see you on TV?"

[Chorus]
G G/B              C9  D
  Must've been the same  thing
Em7 G/B             C9  D11/F#
   Must've been the same   thing
G G/B              C9  D
  Must've been the same  thing
          Am7
Charlie Brown went through

[Verse 2]
I'm in a comic store
Lookin' for some mistakenly priced comic I could make
A fortune on and in walks the Fantastic Four
I say "Don't go; That last issue was cool!"

[Chorus]
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing

[Bridge]
Em7       D            Am7
   These things all end
Em7       D            Am7
   Who asked you anyway?
Em7       D           Am7
   You'll have to bend
Em7       D            Am7
   Who asked you anyway?

[Verse 3]
I'm in a thunderstorm
Staying out from under trees never holding
Golf clubs, but still seem to be getting
Struck by lightning... must be
Something in my veins
My weathered veins

[Chorus]
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the...
