Tiger Lillies - Same old story

GmBorn (355333@1)in a slum in Rome
CmBorn (x3101x@1)in filth and rags
DYou (xx0232@1)climb the weary road of youth
GmAlone (355333@1)and often sad

GmYou (355333@1)climb the hills your feet get sore
CmAnd (x3101x@1)then your heart goes numb
DAnd (xx0232@1)as you reach your teenage years
GmA (355333@1)whore you do become

CmAnd (x3101x@1)as I see you
D (xx0232@1)               GmMy (355333@1)eyes fill with tears
CmIt's (x3101x@1)the same old story
D (xx0232@1)                    GmIt's (355333@1)been going on for years

Gm  Cm
Well now all around you men do fall
DBut (xx0232@1)you know don't you know
GmThat (355333@1)you're just lust's pawn

GmThe (355333@1)poverty you felt in youth
CmWell (x3101x@1)it still plays a part
DThe (xx0232@1)poverty once in your purse
GmWell (355333@1)now it's in your heart

CmAnd (x3101x@1)as I see you
D (xx0232@1)               GmMy (355333@1)eyes fill with tears
CmIt's (x3101x@1)the same old story
D (xx0232@1)                    GmIt's (355333@1)been going on for years

GmSo (355333@1)now the money starts to flow
CmWell (x3101x@1)how sweet for a short time
DBut (xx0232@1)then the sweetness does turn sour
GmIt's (355333@1)another weary time

CmAnd (x3101x@1)as I see you
D (xx0232@1)               GmMy (355333@1)eyes fill with tears
CmIt's (x3101x@1)the same old story
D (xx0232@1)                    GmIt's (355333@1)been going on for years
