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
