Very easy song. I'll try and describe the intro & verse strumming pattern.
e-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-| B-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-3>----3-3-|-2>----2-2-| G-1<----1-1-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-| D-2>----2-2-|-2>----2-2-|-0>----0-0-|-2>----2-2-| A-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-----------|-0<----0-0-| E-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-----------|-----------|
(Raked)
The strumming matches the vocals. If its 4/4 timing, the rake lasts for three, and
the other two last for one. Hope you understand that.
Strumming is just normal for the chorus
Intro:
E, Esus4, Dsus2, A
'Cause it's a [E]bitter[Esus4]sweet [Dsus2]symphon[A]y this li[E]fe[Esus4] [Dsus2] [A]
Trying to make[E] ends [Esus4]meet, you're a slave to t[Dsus2]he money t[A]hen you [E]die
[Esus4] [Dsus2] [A]
I'll take you [E]down the [Esus4]only r[Dsus2]oad I've [A]ever been [E]down[Esus4] [Dsus2] [A]
You know the [E]one that [Esus4]takes you to the [Dsus2]places where all the veins [A]meet,
yeah[E] [Esus4] [Dsus2] [A]
[E]No change, I can't [Esus4]change, I can't [Dsus2]change, I can't [A]change,
but I'm [E]here in my [Esus4]mold , I am [Dsus2]here in my [A]mold
But I'm [E]a million different [Esus4]people from [Dsus2]one day to the [A]next
I can't [E]change my mold[Esus4], no, no,[Dsus2] no, no, [A]no
Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
