From the album Say What You Like
Capo 4
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
G
When looking young is getting old
A D G A
You become too complicated to hold, lovingly
D G
And the lines around your face from laughing at me
A D G
Won't be replaced with any kindness that you show
A
And he still wants you back
D G
But he wears a wedding ring
A
So you creep in through the shadows
D G
Just to hear a caged bird sing
[Chorus]
A
And you do what you want to
D G
And you do what you can
A
And when it can't be undone
D G
You rewrite history
A D G A
over and over and over again
[Verse 2]
D G
And you might change your face
A D
Just to save your name,
G
You might take her place
A D
But you won't take the blame
[Chorus]
G
It's the same old story
A D
in each new catastrophe
G
Well, you run in, and you run out of answers
A D G
And you rewrite history
A D G A
over and over again
[Verse 3]
D G
And I can't call you up
A D
You see, you got no telephone
G
And then you write me a letter
A D
And you're a thousand miles from home
[Chorus]
G
And you do what you want to
A D
And you do what you can
G A
And when it can't be undone
D G
You rewrite history
A D G A
over and over and over again
