[A] [Am] [F] [G]
[Am]
[F]
[G] [C] [A] We had broken up a good-ish [F] an hour before
[G] [A] Now we're staring at the fires [F] as they're dancing across the floor
[G] [A] And when the [Am] flames blow the temple [F] wouldn't use to sit down
[G] [A] It was the same old song [F] with a million loud sounds
[G] [C] [A] [G]
[F] They don't [C] write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[A] And we've lived together [F] for a million years
[G] [A] And I feel so strange [F] having me at this feast
[G] [A] And when the kids [Am] boxed this [F] song I used to know
[G] [A]
Now I'm staring at [Am] the bodies [F] as they're dancing so [G] slow
[A]
[F] They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[C] [G]
[A] [F]
[G] [A]
[Am] [F]
[G] [A]
Now [Am] I'm staring at [F] a dead [G] glass
[A]
Is it too easy to say [F] that you forget your past?
[G] [A]
[F] [C] They don't write like [G] that anymore
[Dm]
[F] They [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[F] They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[F] They [C] just don't, no [G] they don't, no [Dm] no
[F] They [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
