People never change,

Em                           
They seem to stay the same.

F                            
They wear different clothes,

G                       
But play the same games.

C
Many different ways

Em
To say the same thing.

F
Searchin' for the right words,

G
The ones that would make you stay.


Am              C
Exchanging the way things were

         F                   D7
For the way that they should be, yeah.

     Am
And choosing these words

    C
Is saying to her,

      G
The things that she never heard

    (G)            
But always deserved.


  C
I figured what it is all about.

     Em
It's you that I could never live without.

       F
You're everything,
     
    D7*
The air that I breathe.

C
Stupid not to know it all along,

    Em
And everything I ever did was wrong.

F                       D7*
Sadly it's too late for sorry.


C                          
Oh I'm not even really sure

Em
Who made this mess,

     F
And who threw what punch,

       G                 
But I could not care less.

C                           
All I know is that I'm here

Em
And you are not, Ohhh.

F
Once I put this wasted pride aside,

G
Nothin's all I got, Ohhh.


Am              C
Exchanging the way things were

         F                   D7
For the way that they should be, yeah.

     Am

    C

Dm
Ohh,
         Am
Somebody make it stop, yeah.

Dm
And pick me up,

          Am
And just dust me off, Ohh.

      Dm
The rainy day flood,

Am
Drowned all this love.

Ab
Trapped at the bottom now,

G
Please dig me up.


  C
