The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be

Ever since she said our love was dead
I've come to dread what lies ahead
True, I'm going to miss you
But let's not skirt the issue
From now on, everything is gonna suck

The future ain't what it used to be
All the same things are gonna happen to me
But they're gonna turn out differently
The future ain't what it used to be

I'll still be bored by the same old stuff
Still falling short of close enough
I'm still gonna breathe air
But you're not gonna be there
Seems like a pointless exercise without you

The future ain't what it used to be
You altered the course of history
Now you're not gonna be together with me
The future ain't what it used to be
The future ain't what it used to be

I've seen this a lot with you
Now we'll just have to wait and see
If this new kid you've got with you
Honors his big promises

Where will you be if it's too good to be true?
Start all over with a brand new groupie?
It'll be a while before I'll know where I'll be
But when I'm there, then I'm there
Try to find me

[Guitar lead]

I'll get one more wish in
But there's a strong suspicion
Everything will seem a little weak

Now that the future ain't what it used to be
The future ain't what it used to be
The future ain't what it used to be
If you're not gonna be together with me
The future ain't what it used to be
