[Intro]
E D/E A/E E
[Verse 1]
E(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
A/E(Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
E(Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
E(Gold rush) The swinging of a wrecking ball
D/E(Gold rush) Through these lath and plaster walls
A/E(Gold rush) Is letting all the shadows free
E(Gold rush) The ones I wish still followed me
[Chorus 1]
E/G#Change (followed me, followed mAe)
Please don't chEange
E/G#Stay (followed me, followed mAe)
Stay the sEame
[Verse 2]
E(Gold rush) I remember a winter's night
D/E(Gold rush) We kissed beneath the street lamp light
A/E(Gold rush) Outside a bar near the record store
E(Gold rush) That have been condos for a year and more
E(Gold rush) Now that our haunts have taken flight
D/E(Gold rush) And been replaced with construction sites
A/E(Gold rush) Oh, how I feel like a stranger here
E(Gold rush) Searching for something that's disappeared
E(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E(Gold rush) For what they say is the greater good
A/E(Gold rush) But all I see is a long goodbye
E(Gold rush) A requiem for a skyline
E(Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
D/E(Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
A/E(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
E(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
[Chorus 2]
CE/G#hange (be this way, be this wAay)
Please don't chEange
E/G#Stay (be this way, be this wAay)
Stay the sEame
CE/G#ranes (be this way, be this wAay)
Devour the lEight
StE/G#range (be this way, be this wAay)
AppetEite
[Bridge]
Esus4And I've ascribed these monuments
EA false sense of permanence
Esus4I've placed faith in geography
ETo hold you in my memory
Esus4(Gold rush) I'm sifting through these wreckage piles
E(Gold rush) Through the rubble of bricks and wires
Bsus4(Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
Bsus4(Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
[Verse 3]
E(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
A/E(Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
E(Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
E(Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
D/E(Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
A/E(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
E(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
[Outro]
ChEange (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
D/E(Gold rush) (It didn't...) Please don't cA/Ehange (...use to be this way)
(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
StEay (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
D/E(Gold rush) (It didn't...) Stay the sA/Eame (...use to be this way)
(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
ChEange (Gold rush)
D/E(Gold rush) Please don't chA/Eange
(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E(Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
StEay (Gold rush)
D/E(Gold rush) Stay the sA/Eame
