Staring from a card - board castle, down and out,

Paper flutters, ang - ry taxi drivers shout

From the pages of a pa - per, candles shine,
Am7 Asus7 Am7 G D/F# Em
On a perfect table laid for two who love to dine,
Am7 Asus7 Am7 D Dsus4 D
They suggest a highly re - com - mended wine,
Am7 Asus7 Am7 D
Once again the same old line...

Weary carriage horses stand in single file,

Someone at a crowded bus stop wears a friendly smile,

Touching nerves that no one's heard from in a while,

Papers from the same old file
