[D] And all the changes keep [G] on changing
[D] And the good old days, they say, [Bm] are gone
[D] Only wise men and [G] some lupine fools
Say that [D] they know what's [Bm] going on
[D] I was cramped into a coffeehouse pew
[E] Two dollar coke in my hand
[G] Listening to the music [D] run through and out of a drowning man
Ten years ago, I first heard him singing [E] to a screaming, crazy crowd
[G] Now there's just thirteen loyal [D] people trying to sound that loud
[A] And I wonder, as I watch him now, [G] why his songs [D] don't turn me on
[G] He got [D] me into music, where [Em] has the fragile [A] magic gone?
And [D] all the changes keep [G] on changing
And [D] the good old days, they say, [Bm] they're gone
[D] Don't let wise men and [G] some lupine fools
Say that they [D] know what's [Bm] going on
But [A] I sometimes [G] think the difference
Is [F#m] just in how I think [Bm] and see
And [D] that the only [E] changes going on [G] are just going [D] on in me
And the only [E] changes going [G] on are just going [D] on in me
There I was, in your air force
[E] Uncle Sam, [A] you owned [E] my brain
I [G] tried to see myself as a sex-mad savior
[D] Sailing on a silver plane
I started out [F#m] to do [D] my duty
[E] Ended up just doing time
[G] What is it about you, my mother of a country
[D] Makes so many change their minds
You know [A] you had me on your honor roll
[G] For your [Em] dream I [D] would die
[G] Now I would [D] not even cross the street
[Em] To help you live [A] a lie
And all [D] the changes keep [G] on changing
And [D] the good old days, you know [Bm] they're gone
Don't [D] let wise men and [G] some lupine fools
Say that [D] they know what's [Bm] going on
