C                   G 
Watching while some old friends do a line, 
                               G            C 
Holding back the want to in my own addicted mind. 
               C7            F            C  C/B  Am  G  F 
Wishing it was still a thing even I could do, 
C                 G               C 
Wishing all these old things were new. 
 
 
                    G               C 
Watching while some young men go to jail, 
                                   G            C 
And they show it all on TV just to see somebody fail. 
                          C7                
And I guess there's not a single thing  
  G               C  C/B  Am  G  F 
A man like me can do, 
C                 G               C 
Wishing all these old things were new.

Good times like the roaring '20s and the roaring '80s too. 
F                                   C       C/B Am   G   F 
Thinking about the good old days, before it all fell through, 
C                 G               C 
Wishing all these old things were new.

INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
                       G           C 
The kids don't want my cigarettes around, 
                                  G           C 
They say its time that dad should lay tobacco down. 
                         C7 
But if I could start all over,  
          F               C  C/B  Am  G  F 
Guess I'd still do what I do, 
C                 G               C 
Wishing all these old things were new.
