[G] [A]
We'd broken up a good [F] bitch just an hour before
[G] [A] Now she's staring at the fire [F] as she's dancing across the floor
[G] [A] And then the man [Am] spoke a temple [F] of what it means for you to be [G] down
[Em] [A] It was the same old song [F] but with a melody and sound
[G] [C] [A] [G] They [F] don't [C] write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[A] We've been living together [F] for a million years
[G] [A] And I feel so strange, [F] I don't think I can speak
And I'm in tears, [G] oh oh oh oh [A] oh oh
And then the [Am] jukebox plays a [F] song I used to know, [G] oh oh oh oh oh [A] oh
Now I'm staring [Am] at the bodies [F] as they're dancing so slow, [G] oh oh oh [A] oh oh oh
[F] They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] don't write like that [G] anymore

[A] [F]
[G] [A]
[Am] [F]
[G] [A]
Now I'm staring [F] at the dead [G] glass, oh oh oh oh oh [A] oh
Cause it's so easy to say [F] that you can get your ass, [G] oh oh oh oh oh [A]
[F] oh
[C] They don't write like that [G] 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, [Dm] no no
[F] They [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
