I?ve Heard that Tear Stained Monologue You Do There by the Door Before You Go
words and music
by Mason Williams

INTRO: C G F C G F
Some[C]times I get the feel[F]ing I?ve passed [G]this way one time in lif[C]e b[G]ef[F]ore[C][G][F]
L[C]ike the rerun o[F]f some movie I?v[G]e seen a thousand Saturdays ago[C][G][F][C]
I [Am]know exactly what your gonna say b[D]efore it happens in each scene[G]
An[C]d I find myself rehear[F]sing for that blackout s[G]ituation
Where the punchline reaches out and punches me[C][G][F]

I [C]always play the sam[F]e part; the good [G]guy gets the girl, I wind u[C]p d[G]ea[F]d.[C][G][F]
Wh[C]o rides into the sunse[F]t when the credits[G] start to roll and flash upon the
screen inside my he[C]ad[G][F][C]
Th[Am]e show is done, the lights go up, I th[D]row my empty popcorn box a[G]way
Go[Am] back to unreality on rubbe[D]r legs, I walk into the d[G]ay

(Bridge)
Li[Am]fe is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the [D]same
I [Am]know the cues where I came in, the exits but I can?t recall your n[D]ame
So[C] save your breath, don?t tell [F]me how it all co[G]mes out, somehow I think I[C] kn[GF]ow
I?ve heard[C] that tear stained monologue[F] you do there by [G]the door before you go.[C]
Wh[Am]at makes me take you by the hand and stand [D]around in line one time aga[G]in
Just to se[Am]e the same old madness.. well, I ask you ain?t this th[D]e place where I
came in[G]?
So[C] save your breath, don?t tell [F]me how it all co[G]me out, somehow I think [C]I k[G]no[F]w[C]
I?[C]ve heard that tear stained mo[F]nologue you do th[G]ere by the door before you g[C]o.
