This Old Routine

	  		


Intro: G 


Verse 1
 
G              C           D          G 
So you come on home, walk through the door. 
C            D                             Em 
She's in the kitchen searching through the drawers. 
G               C                 D              Em 
So you stop and watch her and ask what she's looking for. 
G        C    D    G 
She says she's not sure.  

G           C            D            G 
And it gets late and you turn off the lights. 
C           D                   Em 
Her body so close to you in the night. 
G                C                 D           Em 
But you dare not touch her and you don't want to fight, 
G           C  D  G 
so you just say, "Goodnight." 



C            D      G       Em 
This old routine will drive you mad 
C           D            G         Em 
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud 
C                 D          G            Em                   
And sometimes you don't even know why you loved her. 
         C           D                G 
Well you look at her now, and you see why. 


Verse 2
 
G                    C   D          G 
And your youngest is out fighting a war. 
C            D                    Em 
But he won't say what he's fighting for. 
G        D            C       Em 
If he's gone because of war for you, 
G          C  D    G 
in which you rather true. 



C            D      G        Em 
This old routine will drive you mad 
C           D             G         Em 
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud 
C             D            G                      Em 
Sometimes you can't even recall the sound of his laughter. Oh well 
C              D             G 
did you ever really know the sound?
