G               C                   G
Now and then an old friend tries to help me
                                            D
By telling me there's someone that I should meet
    G                C                  G
But I don't have the heart to start all over
                          D            G
'Cause my heart is laying at another's feet

[Chorus]
                       C              G
You just don't put new patches on old garments
                               D
I don't want no one else on my mind
  G                 C           G
I just don't need nobody new to cling to
                          D                  G
I still love someone I've known a long, long time

[Verse 2]
                C              G
I have built my world around a mem'ry
                                 D
And she's the only one that I let in
G            C               G
Every time I try to love somebody
               D           G
In my mind I'm loving her again

[Chorus]
                       C              G
You just don't put new patches on old garments
                               D
I don't want no one else on my mind
  G                 C           G
I just don't need nobody new to cling to
                          D                  G
I still love someone I've known a long, long time
                               D                  G   D   G
Yes, I still love someone I've known a long, long time.....
