The Same Boy You've Always Known

VERSE 1: Vibrato
You fell down of course, and then you
Got up of course
And started over
Forgot my name of course
Then you started to remember
Pretty tough to think about
The beginning of December
Pretty tough to think about
N.C. A5
Pretty tough to think about
Yeah, yeah-eah
Pretty tough to think about
VERSE 2:
You're looking down again
And then you look me over
We're laying down again
On a blanket in the clover
The same boy you've always known
well, I guess I haven't grown
The same boy you've always known
The same boy you've always known
BRIDGE:
Think of what the past did
It could've lasted
So put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
Who can lend you a hand
Lowering my casket
RIFF:
VERSE 3:
I thought, this is just today
And soon you'd been returning
The coldest blue ocean water cannot stop
My heart and mind from burning
Everyone who's in the know says,
"That's exactly how it goes"
And if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows
