D                                 D/B
And when all this time's on my hands
C9                              D9
And dreaming makes the sun fade away
D                              D/B
I know depending on all my friends
C9                        D9
Leads you to wish me to change
D                              D/B
Its all the same to this simple mind
C9                              D9
Leads you to pride and truth
D                              D/B
And all the things that stay the same
C9                              D9
Will steal the breath from you

D   D/B   C9   D9

D                           D/B
I'm gonna take all of these rocks and
C9                        D9
Throw them into the sea
D                          D/B
If one should get up and float away
C9                        D9
I know thats what I'll need

**Chorus**

         G
And I feel
D5
Like I'm someone else
         G
And it seems
D5
To be my soul
        G
And I feel
D5
That I cannot tell
    Bm
If this life is short
          A
But a living hell
         G
And I feel
D5
That she's to blame
            G
For my heart my soul
        D5
And my eager frame of mind
            Bm
So whats my hurry then
            A
Its all these little things that stay the same

And I feel

D   D/B   C9      D9

D                        D/B
I'll make some empty promises
C9                        D9
And we'll both smile and nod
D                        D/B
We'd cried how could we get through this
C9                        D9
And then we'd laugh at the thought
D                        D/B
For its love, sweet love, its our common goal
C9                                          D9
And all these things that stay the same, will steal my soul

*Chorus*

*Chorus 2*
         G
And I feel
D5                        G
Things have been the same
D5                  G
Since she went away
D5                        Bm
All I know its just the way
                     A
She moves across a crowded room
        G
And I feel
D5                        G
That time and time again
D5                        G
All we have are friends
D5                         Bm
But oh my God its just the way
                        A
She moves, its just the way she moves


G                        D5
And I feel the dark is straight ahead
G                        D5
But all I have can't be replaced
G                        D5
And somethings must never change
Bm                        A
These feelings, about here
G                        D5
And I hold my heart, in my hands
G                        D5
Letting life just fall whereever
G                        D5
And I can't help but wonder if
Bm                        A
I'll ever fall in love again
            D
And I feel.

There it is, in a nutshell.  Great song, great artist, check him out!
