After all these years you're here,
    G            D
and you remember me. (woah-oh-oh)
A              G   D  A
  She said her old boyfriend
              G      D
packed up and headed back east.
A          Bm               G
   But she always knew some day...
         A
he would go.


She just got a new job
          G           D
and she's down to her last. (woah-oh-oh)
         A
So let's take a drink and never think, yea
G             D
here's to the past. (woah-oh-oh)
A            G  D  A
She said its so funny,
              G   D  A
how life runs out so fast.
          Bm             G    D  A (Stop)
It's just another wasted day.

A boring life in a boring town
         G               D
with the same old crowd. (woah-oh-oh)
       A
When I used to say, that I'd never stay
        G            D                 A
But I'm rotting here today. (woah-oh-oh)
          G    D   A
With that same old crowd
             G    D A
thats always been around.
Bm      G                  E
  And I always thought I'd be
             A
the first to go.

              E
That same old crowd,
              F#m
that drags me down.
 E      D               A
Another day in a boring town.
              E
That same old crowd,
               F#m
that brings me down.
  E      D                A
A boring life in a boring town.


Just talked to this girl,
        G                D
used to live, yea, on my street.
      A
After all these years you're here,
        G                  D
and its still just you and me.
A
  Sometimes I can't believe after all these years
G                   D           A
  I just think I'll never leave here.
              G  D  A
She said it's so funny,
              G   D  A
how life runs out so fast.
            Bm
Let's take another drink,
    E
and here's to the past.

(same as first chorus but ends on Bm)
 That same old crowd,
that drags me down.
Another day in a boring town.
That same old crowd,
that brings me down.      Bm
A boring life in a boring town.

       G               D              A
And remember when they looked through you,
         G           D
and then looked past me.
            A                     E
We were the ones they said would always leave.
Bm             G        D        A
   So when you go, just think of me,
G            D
think of me. (woah-oh-oh)
