You used to write my name
       C
On the back of your notebook
G                Bb                           C#  C
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars
G                      Bb
But lately it would appear
         C#               C   
That you found yourself a black magic marker
G            Bb
Just to make absolutely sure
     C#
That no one ever thought
     C
That you'd take it that far

            C              D

Well here we go again now, here we go again now

G           Bb
You used to write me those
C#           C
Funny little letters
G             Bb                   C#  C
In a language ours and ours alone
G          Bb             C#
I gave my "Catcher in the Rye"
    C
For your "Cats Craddle"
G              Bb                          C# C
And I gave my "White" for your "Abby Road"

     C                     D
Well here we go again now, here we go again now

Em           G
Truck tires, trash fires
C           D
Face first, through the wire
Em     G
Adios, Au'revoir 
C                D
I see now what I never saw
Em      G          C             D
No more pet names, postcards and picture frames
Em     G
Adios, Au'revoir
C                D
I see now that I never saw
