DmThe same routine 
GMost everyday except I guess 
C                          C7I see my folks much more. 


FA year has passed 
BmI thought by now that I could make 
Em                A7A new life of my own

DmIt's really bad
G When Friday comes because I know 
C                  A7The weekend lies ahead 
Dm                    GThe walks we took the football games 
C                                              C7And when it rained how late we stayed in bed. 


F                   BmI've done so much to change the house 
Em                          A7The attic's full memories I've  known 
Dm                  G                       And yet when I turn out the light 
C                  A7I wait for you to say goodnight

Dm                           GThe same old thing behind my smile 
C                                               C7I'm sitting there comparing her/him  to you.
 
F              And in the end it's always you
