This Old Routine

G

[Verse 1]
G              C           D    
So you come on home, walk 
      G
through the door.
C            D              
She's in the kitchen searching 
               Em
through the drawers.
G               C                 
So you stop and watch her and ask 
D              Em
what she's looking for.
G        C    D    G
She says she's not sure.

G           C            D      
And it gets late and you turn 
      G
off the lights.
C           D                   
Her body so close to you in the 
Em
night.
G                C                
But you dare not touch her and you
 D           Em
 don't want to fight,
G           C  D  G
so you just say, "Goodnight."

[Chorus]

This old routine will drive you mad
C           D            G       
It's just a mumble never spoken 
  Em
out loud
C                 D          G  
And sometimes you don't even 
          Em
know why you loved her.
         C           D            
Well you look at her now, and you 
    G
see why.

[Verse 2]
G                    C   D      
And your youngest is out 
    G
fighting a war.
C            D                    
But he won't say what he's fighting 
Em
for.
G        C            D       Em
If he's gone because of war for you,
G          C  D    G
in which you rather true.

[Chorus]
C            D      G        Em

C             D            G    
Sometimes you can't even recall 
                  Em
the sound of his laughter. Oh well
C              D             G
did you ever really know the sound?

Sometimes you don't even know

how you're still standing. Well she
C            D               Em
looks at you now, and you see how. 
Well you
C            D                 G
look at them now, and you know how.
