Tiger Lillies - Same old story Gm Born in a slum in Rome Cm Born in filth and rags D You climb the weary road of youth Gm Alone and often sad Gm You climb the hills your feet get sore Cm And then your heart goes numb D And as you reach your teenage years Gm A whore you do become Cm And as I see you D Gm My eyes fill with tears Cm It’s the same old story D Gm It’s been going on for years Gm Cm Well now all around you men do fall D But you know don’t you know Gm That you’re just lust’s pawn Gm The poverty you felt in youth Cm Well it still plays a part D The poverty once in your purse Gm Well now it’s in your heart Cm And as I see you D Gm My eyes fill with tears Cm It’s the same old story D Gm It’s been going on for years Gm So now the money starts to flow Cm Well how sweet for a short time D But then the sweetness does turn sour Gm It’s another weary time Cm And as I see you D Gm My eyes fill with tears Cm It’s the same old story D Gm It’s been going on for years tabbed by timothio
