words and music
by John Hartford

INTRO: C   G F   C  G F
    C 	  	  	 F 	  	 G 	  	  	 C  G F  C  G F
Sometimes I get the feeling I've passed this way one time in life before
 C 	  	 F 	  	 G 	  	  	  	     C  G F   C  
Like the rerun of some movie I've seen a thousand Saturdays ago
  Am 	  	  	  	     D 	  	  	  	      G
I know exactly what your gonna say before it happens in each scene
  C 	  	  	 F 	  	  	 G
And I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation
 	  	  	  	  	  	  C  G F 
Where the punchline reaches out and punches me

  C 	  	      F 	  	       G 	  	  	          C  G F   C  G F
I always play the same part; the good guy gets the girl, I wind up dead.
  C 	  	  	 F 	  	   G 	  	  	 
Who rides into the sunset when the credits start to roll and flash upon the 
                   C  G F C
screen inside my head
  Am 	  	  	  	  	 D                         G 	  	  	 
The show is done, the lights go up, I throw my empty popcorn box away
  Am 	  	  	      D 	  	  	       G
Go back to unreality on rubber legs, I walk into the day

(Bridge)
  Am 	  	  	  	  	  	  	         D
Life is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the same
  Am 	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	     D
I know the cues where I came in, the exits but I can't recall your name
  C 	  	  	  	 F 	  	 G 	  	  	   C G F    
So save your breath, don't tell me how it all comes out, somehow I think I know
 	   C 	                       F 	  	        G 	  	  	 C
I've heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
  Am 	  	  	  	  	      D 	  	  	  	 G
What makes me take you by the hand and stand around in line one time again
 	   Am          	  	  	  	  	  	 D          G
Just to see the same old madness.. well, I ask you ain't this the place where I came in?
             C 	  	  	  	 F 	  	 G 	  	         C  G F C
So save your breath, don't tell me how it all come out, somehow I think I know
  C                            F                G                           C
I've heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
