VERSE: 
       Am                         F 
We had broken up for good just an hour before 
      G              Am 
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh 
        Am                               F 
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor 
      G              Am 
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh 
             Am                             F 
And then the band slowed the tempo when the music took you down 
      G              Am 
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh 
           Am                     F 
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound 
      G              Am 
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh 
F F             C         C            G   G    Dm  Dm  
     They don't write 'em like that anymore 
F F                  C         C            G     G4    G 
     They just don't write 'em like that anymore  

2nd: 

We been living together for a million years 

Uh... 

But now it feels so strange out in the atmosphere 

Uh... 

And then the jukebox plays a sone I used to know 

Uh... 

And not I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow 

Uh... 
F F             C         C            G   G    Dm  Dm 
     They don't write 'em like that anymore 
F F             C         C            G     G4    G 
     They don't write 'em like that anymore  

Repeat Intro 
 
3rd: 

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass 

Uh... 

Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past  

Uh... 
 
repeat Chorus and fade
