[Verse 1]
Em7add11
What does it mean to wake out of a dream and be
D G/B Cadd9
Wearing some else's shorts?
D B7/D# B7
I've been around the block, at least on my bike
Em G G/B Cadd9
I was prepared for the news but not for full scale war.
Am7 G
I found me an answer, in a grocery store
Am7 Gsus/B
I found me an answer in the form of an old man with
C D Em7
a cardigan on, this guy's got thirty years on me but
Dsus/F# G Cadd9
he stops and smiles just to say "Hello,
Am7
didn't I see you on TV?"

[Verse 2]
I'm in a comic store
Lookin' for some mistakenly priced comic I could make
A fortune on and in walks the Fantastic Four
I say "Don't go; That last issue was cool!"
[Chorus]
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing

Em7 D Am7
These things all end
Em7 D Am7
Who asked you anyway?
Em7 D Am7
You'll have to bend
Em7 D Am7
Who asked you anyway?
[Verse 3]
I'm in a thunderstorm
Staying out from under trees never holding
Golf clubs, but still seem to be getting
Struck by lightning... must be
Something in my veins
My weathered veins
[Chorus]
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the same thing
Must've been the...
