You know the old routine

Could have stayed

Out at Diamond Head

I was almost there

Silver medal for the loser

Silver medal for the loser

G+G      E minorEm
Now I'm headed out
G+G
With the same unrest
       E minorEm
Tried to tear it down

But it was unimpressed
       C majorC
Used to feel like home

It was rolling in the clover now

Twenty seven warmed over now

Twenty seven warmed over

I'm gonna figure out the hard way
