THE MORE THINGS CHANGE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
----------------------------------------------
[Capo 3]
[Each chord is one measure]
[Actually, the Em's almost sound like E5's and the A's in the verse
 sound like A5's...]

Em  Em  Em  Em
[intro]

       Em                Em
Well I think of you sometimes at night
    Em                        Em
And sometimes it's still the same
    Em                   Em                B7           B7
The way that it was when I was the keeper of your flame
   Em                       Em
We all have our ghosts, we all have our doubts
A                     G
I'm no different with you or without
    Em                   B7                    Em    Em
But one thing's certain: only the names have changed

And I think of you sometimes baby
When an old friend gives a call
And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all
'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours
We all have our way of closing the door
But it takes some time to get up when you fall

            A                   G
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Em                  A
Way back when you pledged your love
Em                     Em                         B7   B7
   And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
      A                   G
Now I hear all about your running around
Em                      A
Man you're a legend all over town
      Em                    B7                    Em  Em
The more things change, the more they remain the same

[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]

Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout

But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Way back when you pledged your love
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same

Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same
