Dm  
I leave the house
G                                                                 C  
I catch the bus and go to work

The way I did before.

The same routine

Most everyday except I guess

A year has passed

I thought by now that I could make

It's really bad
G  
When Friday comes because I know
C                                              A7  
The weekend lies ahead

The walks we took the football games

F                                                 Bm  
I've done so much to change the house
Em                                                                    A7  
The attic's full memories I've    known

Dm                                      G  
I go on dates but when I do

I always find before the night is through

The same old thing behind my smile
