Verse 1:
[C] [Dm7]
You're sweet as a honeybee, but like a honeybee stings,
[F] [G]
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
[C]
All you left is our favorite song,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
The one we danced to all night long.
[C]
It used to bring sweet memories,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
Of a tender love that used to be.
Chorus 1:
[C] [G]
Now it's the same old song,
[Dm] [G] [F]
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.

It's the same old song,
[Dm] [G] [F]
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.

[Am]
Ah, oh a...
Verse 2:
[C]
Sentimental fool am I,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
To hear an old love song and wanna cry.
[C]
But the melody keeps haunting me,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
Re-minding me, how in love we used to be.
[C]
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our hearts,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
Staying to-gether forever, darling, breaking up never.
Chorus 2:
[C] [G]
It's the same old song,
[Dm] [G] [F]

But with a different meaning, since you been gone.

Verse 3:
[C]
Precious memories keep a lingering on,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
Every time I hear our favorite song.
[C]
Now you've gone, left this emptiness,
[Dm7] [F] [G]
I only reminisce the happiness we spent.
[C]
We used to dance to the music, (dance to the music),
[Dm7] [F] [G]
Make ro-mance to the music, (make ro-mance to the music).

[Dm] [G] [F]
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.
