[Verse 1]
   EmYou've never seen Paris
and you B7never drank ChamEmpaign
EmYou've never been to the seaside
for Amyou it's only B7clouds and Emrain
   EmYou never went out for dinner
you never slB7ept in a hoEmtel
EmYour mother always told you
son, one Amday you will mB7arry Emwell
[Chorus]
EmSo it B7goes
the Cold unchanging DstorB7y
EmYou can B7change
but you Amcannot choose where B7you come Emfrom
[Verse 2]
   EmYou never took a plane
you never B7sat in a new Emcar
These Emthings are not for people
who Amseem to comB7e from aEmfar
   EmYou never thought you're special
you never B7had self esEmteem
And Emall of your heroes
they're Amliving on your B7TV Emscreen
[Chorus]
EmSo it B7goes
the Cold unchanging DstorB7y
EmYou can B7change
but you Amcannot choose where B7you come Emfrom
[Verse 3]
   EmEven today, when you're walking
you still B7look down on the Emground
As Emif you were still searching
for Amsomething that you B7never Emfound
[Bridge]
So Dmany roads you can Amwalk down
no one Dknows what you will beGcome
The B7only thing applying to Emeveryone
is that we Amcan not choose where you come fromB7  
[Chorus]
EmSo it B7goes
the Cold unchanging DstorB7y
EmYou can B7change
but you Amcannot choose where B7you come Emfrom
Oh well Emso it B7goes
the Cold unchanging Dstory
EmYou can B7change
But you Amcannot choose where B7you come Emfrom
Oh you cAmannot choose where you come B7from
Oh you cAmannot choose where yB7ou come Emfrom

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

You've never seen Paris

B7 Em

and you never drank Champaign

You've never been to the seaside

Am B7 Em

for you it's only clouds and rain

You never went out for dinner

B7 Em

you never slept in a hotel

Your mother always told you

Am B7 Em

son, one day you will marry well

[Chorus]

Em B7

So it goes

C D B7

the old unchanging story

Em B7

You can change

Am B7 Em

but you cannot choose where you come from

[Verse 2]

You never took a plane

B7 Em

you never sat in a new car

These things are not for people

Am B7 Em

who seem to come from afar

You never thought you're special

B7 Em

you never had self esteem

And all of your heroes

Am B7 Em

they're living on your TV screen

[Chorus]

Em B7

So it goes

C D B7

the old unchanging story

Em B7

You can change

Am B7 Em

but you cannot choose where you come from

[Verse 3]

Even today, when you're walking

B7 Em

you still look down on the ground

As if you were still searching

Am B7 Em

for something that you never found

[Bridge]

D Am

So many roads you can walk down

D G

no one knows what you will become

B7 Em

The only thing applying to everyone

Am B7

is that we can not choose where you come from

[Chorus]

Em B7

So it goes

C D B7

the old unchanging story

Em B7

You can change

Am B7 Em

but you cannot choose where you come from

Em B7

Oh well so it goes

C D

the old unchanging story

Em B7

You can change

Am B7 Em

But you cannot choose where you come from

Am B7

Oh you cannot choose where you come from

Am B7 Em

Oh you cannot choose where you come from
