      We had broken up for good just an hour before [Ah] Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancin' cross the floor [Ah]
      And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets you down [Ah] It was the same ol'song with a melancholy sound [Ah]

      We'd been living together for a million years [Ah] But now it feels so strange out of the ....atmospheres [Ah]
      then the jukebox plays a song I used to know [Ah] And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow [Ah]
      They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymoooooooooo [^] 
      [intro] oooooooorrrrrrreeeee [intro]  
Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass [Ah] 'Cos it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past [Ah] They don't write 'em like that anymooore ... No, they just don't write 'em like that anymooooooore [^] They don't write 'em like that anymooore ...
