 THE MORE THINGS CHANGE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)<br/>
 ----------------------------------------------<br/>
 [Capo 3]<br/>
 [Each chord is one measure]<br/>
 [Actually, the Em's almost sound like E5's and the A's in the verse<br/>
  sound like A5's...]<br/>
 <br/>
 Em  Em  Em  Em<br/>
 [intro]<br/>
 <br/>
        Em                Em<br/>
 Well I think of you sometimes at night<br/>
     Em                        Em<br/>
 And sometimes it's still the same<br/>
     Em                   Em                B7           B7<br/>
 The way that it was when I was the keeper of your flame<br/>
    Em                       Em<br/>
 We all have our ghosts, we all have our doubts<br/>
 A                     G<br/>
 I'm no different with you or without<br/>
     Em                   B7                    Em    Em<br/>
 But one thing's certain: only the names have changed<br/>
 <br/>
 And I think of you sometimes baby<br/>
 When an old friend gives a call<br/>
 And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all<br/>
 'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours<br/>
 We all have our way of closing the door<br/>
 But it takes some time to get up when you fall<br/>
 <br/>
             A                   G<br/>
 But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of<br/>
 Em                  A<br/>
 Way back when you pledged your love<br/>
 Em                     Em                         B7   B7<br/>
    And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain<br/>
       A                   G<br/>
 Now I hear all about your running around<br/>
 Em                      A<br/>
 Man you're a legend all over town<br/>
       Em                    B7                    Em  Em<br/>
 The more things change, the more they remain the same<br/>
 <br/>
 [Guitar solo, same chords as verse]<br/>
 <br/>
 Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard<br/>
 The sound of a broken heart<br/>
 It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about<br/>
 And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do<br/>
 Is face the one who's done it to you<br/>
 His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout<br/>
 <br/>
 But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of<br/>
 Way back when you pledged your love<br/>
 And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain<br/>
 Now I hear all about your running around<br/>
 Man you're a legend all over town<br/>
 The more things change, the more they remain the same<br/>
 <br/>
 Now I hear all about your running around<br/>
 Man you're a legend all over town<br/>
 The more things change, the more they remain the same<br/>
 <br/>

 Em&nbsp;&nbsp;Em&nbsp;&nbsp;Em&nbsp;&nbsp;Em 
 [intro] 
 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em 
 Well&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;of&nbsp;you&nbsp;sometimes&nbsp;at&nbsp;night 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em

 The&nbsp;way&nbsp;that&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;the&nbsp;keeper&nbsp;of&nbsp;your&nbsp;flame 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Em 
 We&nbsp;all&nbsp;have&nbsp;our&nbsp;ghosts,&nbsp;we&nbsp;all&nbsp;have&nbsp;our&nbsp;doubts 
 A&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G 
 I'm&nbsp;no&nbsp;different&nbsp;with&nbsp;you&nbsp;or&nbsp;without

 But&nbsp;one&nbsp;thing's&nbsp;certain:&nbsp;only&nbsp;the&nbsp;names&nbsp;have&nbsp;changed 
 
 And&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;of&nbsp;you&nbsp;sometimes&nbsp;baby 
 When&nbsp;an&nbsp;old&nbsp;friend&nbsp;gives&nbsp;a&nbsp;call 
 And&nbsp;to&nbsp;hear&nbsp;us&nbsp;talk&nbsp;you'd&nbsp;think&nbsp;I&nbsp;felt&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;at&nbsp;all

 But&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;sweet&nbsp;girl&nbsp;you&nbsp;couldn't&nbsp;get&nbsp;enough&nbsp;of 
 Em&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A 
 Way&nbsp;back&nbsp;when&nbsp;you&nbsp;pledged&nbsp;your&nbsp;love

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And&nbsp;you'd&nbsp;drive&nbsp;to&nbsp;find&nbsp;me&nbsp;through&nbsp;the&nbsp;pouring&nbsp;rain 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G

 Em&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A 
 Man&nbsp;you're&nbsp;a&nbsp;legend&nbsp;all&nbsp;over&nbsp;town

 The&nbsp;more&nbsp;things&nbsp;change,&nbsp;the&nbsp;more&nbsp;they&nbsp;remain&nbsp;the&nbsp;same 
 
 [Guitar&nbsp;solo,&nbsp;same&nbsp;chords&nbsp;as&nbsp;verse] 
 
 Sometimes&nbsp;I&nbsp;wonder&nbsp;if&nbsp;you've&nbsp;ever&nbsp;heard 
 The&nbsp;sound&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;broken&nbsp;heart 
 It&nbsp;ain't&nbsp;real&nbsp;pretty,&nbsp;it&nbsp;ain't&nbsp;the&nbsp;thing&nbsp;the&nbsp;nice&nbsp;folks&nbsp;talk&nbsp;about
