[C]
Watching while [G] some old friends [C] do a line,
Holding back the want to in [G] my own addicted [C] mind,
Wishing it was still a [F] thing even I could [C] do.
[F] [C]
Wishing [G] all these old [C] things were new,
Watching while [G] some young men go [C] to jail,
And they show it all on TV [G] just to see [C] somebody fail,
And I guess there's not a single [F] thing a man like [C] me can [G] do.
[Am] [G] [F] [C] Wishing [G] all these old [C] things were new,
[G] Wishing all these old things were new,
[C] [F] Good times like the [C] roaring twenties [Am] and the [Eb] roaring [D] eighties too,
[G]
[F] Thinking about the good old [C] days before [Am] it [G] all fell [F]
through.
[C] Wishing all [G] these old [C] things were new,

[C] [G] [B] [Cm]
[C] The kids don't want [G] my [C] cigarettes around,
They say it's time that dad [G] should lay [C] tobacco down,
But if I could start all over, guess [F] I'd still do what [C] I [Am] do.
[G] [F]
[C] Wishing [G] all these old [C] things were new,

[F] Good times like the [C] roaring twenties [Am] and the roaring [D] eighties [G] too,
[F] Thinking about the good [C] old days before [Am] it [G] all fell [F] through.
[C] Wishing [G] all these old [C] things were new,
Wishing [G] all these old [C] things were new.
