[Verse 1]
E                 A
Driving back from Halifax
A                   E
I stopped off for a memory
E                  B
I found waiting in front of me
B               E
More than I had assumed
E                  A
Between me and the sun that day
A              E
Making shadows on my face
E                  B
Was an ageless and changeless place
B                   A
And the music still played


[Chorus]
         E     B      A
And this old familiar song refrain
B                   C#m
Rang a bell but was not the same
        A                  E
I'm not gonna make all the same mistakes
         B
Over and over again
  E         B          A
I thought I heard that song before
B                             C#m
When I swear I was walking out someones door
        A                  E
I think snow will snow and rain will pour
     B         A       E   E  E
If I hear that song again


[Verse 2]
E              A
 "Any one seen Mary Lee?"
A                      E
I heard myself ask the hotel clerk
E                        B
He said "Five's when she gets off work"
B                E
So I lay under a tree.
E                  A
My regrets fill up rubbish bins
A             E
All over this great big world
E                 B
But Mary Lee is a dangerous girl
B                   A
So I was tempted to leave


[Chorus]
         E     B      A
And this old familiar song refrain
B                   C#m
Rang a bell but was not the same
        A                  E
I'm not gonna make all the same mistakes
         B
Over and over again
  E         B            A
I thought I heard that song before
B                             C#m
When I swear I was walking out someones door
        A                  E
I think snow will snow and rain will pour
     B         A       E   E  E
If I hear that song again


[Verse 3]
E                   A
I came too close to turn around
A                           E
She came so close her heart beat on my back
E                      B
I said "Hey, that's no way to act"
B               E
"Let's not ruin things again"
E                        A
"Hurt from cheating will never fade"
A                        E
"And these days I'm just not that strong"
E                       B
She wondered how I knew all along
B                            A
But I never really knew 'til then


[Chorus]
         E     B      A
And this old familiar song refrain
B                   C#m
Rang a bell but was not the same
        A                  E
I'm not gonna make all the same mistakes
         B
Over and over again
  E         B            A
I thought I heard that song before
B                             C#m
When I swear I was walking out someones door
        A                  E
I think snow will snow and rain will pour
     B         A       E
If I hear that song again


[Outro]
     B         A       E
If I hear that song again
                B         A       E
I'm never gonna hear that song again
