Peter varies the lyrics a bit every time he plays this song, so what's written here might not match up with
various performances you can find on youtube, but these are the lyrics from his album "Kitchen Radio". The
chords should still work no matter how you sing the lyrics.
[Verse 1]
DLight a fire, burn up
BmAll you know, you've had
DSo much time, just to
BmLet things go, and now you're
GBurning letters out
Ain the snow in your backDyard
[Verse 2]
DYears go rolling, you're
BmThirty-three, it's time
DFor the cross or the
BmBodhi Tree, but you'd
GLike to cry when you
ASkin your knee, man, it's Dhard
[Chorus 1]
And it's the Gsame old friends on ANew Year's Eve
The Gsame snow falls on the Asame old leaves
And Gthere's the same old Ajoy
And the same old Bmhurt
ASame old corduroy Dshirt
[Verse 3]
DOld storm windows, the
Bmbroke-tail squirrel, and the
DGrocery lists and the
BmSkateboard girls, and your
GRusty brain cells give
AYou a twirl, oh Dno
[Verse 4]
DKitchen radio,
BmCoffee's on, aw, you'd
DLike a month you could
BmLean up on, but this
GOpen road wants to
AGet you gone, off you Dgo
[Chorus 2]
And it's the Gsame old jar of Acar keys by the Gdoor
The same old Ascuffed up floor
The Gsame old thirst for Amore
Until they put you in the Bmdirt
[Finale]
Oh it's the Gsame old nights aAlone, the same old
"GBaby, when you Acoming home?"
To Gfeel the same old Ajoy?
Oh, the same old Bmhurt?
ASame old corduroy Dshirt
ASame old corduroy Dshirt
