[Intro]
G


[Verse 1]
G              C           D          G
So you come on home, walk through the door.
C            D                             Em
She's in the kitchen searching through the drawers.
G               C                 D              Em
So you stop and watch her and ask what she's looking for.
G        C    D    G
She says she's not sure. 

G           C            D            G
And it gets late and you turn off the lights.
C           D                   Em
Her body so close to you in the night.
G                C                 D           Em
But you dare not touch her and you don't want to fight,
G           C  D  G
so you just say, "Goodnight."


[Chorus]
C            D      G       Em
This old routine will drive you mad
C           D            G         Em
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud
C                 D          G            Em                  
And sometimes you don't even know why you loved her.
         C           D                G
Well you look at her now, and you see why.


[Verse 2]
G                    C   D          G
And your youngest is out fighting a war.
C            D                    Em
But he won't say what he's fighting for.
G        D            C       Em
If he's gone because of war for you,
G          C  D    G
in which you rather true.


[Chorus]
C            D      G        Em
This old routine will drive you mad
C           D             G         Em
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud
C             D            G                      Em
Sometimes you can't even recall the sound of his laughter. Oh well
C              D             G
did you ever really know the sound?

C           D      G           Em
This old routine will drive you mad
C           D            G         Em
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud
C             D          G                     Em
Sometimes you don't even know how you're still standing. Well she
C            D               Em
looks at you now, and you see how. Well you
C            D                 G
look at them now, and you know how.
