[Am] [F]
[G] [Am]
[F]
[G] [Am]
[A] We'd broken up a [F] good night before
[G] Oh, oh, [A] oh, oh, oh
And I stared at the [F] bodies as the dancing dropped the [G] floor
Oh, oh, oh, [A] oh, oh
And then the band froze [C] to [F] control, the music took me [G] down
Oh, oh, [Am] oh, oh, oh
It was the same old [F] song with a manicotic [G] sound
Oh, oh, [Am] oh, oh, [G] oh
[F] They [C] don't write like [G] that anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
We've been [A] living together [F] for a million years
[G] Oh, [A] oh, oh, oh, oh
And now it feels so strange [F] out in that atmosphere
[G] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [A] oh
And then the jukebox [Am] plays [F] a song I used to love
[G] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [Am] oh
And now I stare at the bodies [F] as the dancing's so slow
[G] Oh, oh, [Am] oh, oh, [G]
[F] oh
They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm] They
[F] [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[A] Oh, [Am] [F] oh, oh, [G] oh, [Am] [A]
[Am] [F]
[G] [A] oh
Now I'm just [F] staring at an empty glass
[G] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [A] oh
Cause it's so easy to say [F] that you've fucked your past
[G] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [Am] oh
[F] They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm]
[F] No!
They [C] just don't write like that [G] anymore
[F] They [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[Dm]
[F] They just [C] don't write like that [G] anymore
[F] They just [C] don't
No, [G] they don't!
