[Capo 3]
[Each chord is one measure]
Em[intEmro]Em  Em  
Well I Emthink of you sometEmimes at night
And Emsometimes it's still the sEmame
The Emway that it was when EmI was the keeper oB7f your flameB7  
We Emall have our ghosts, we aEmll have our doubts
AI'm no different with Gyou or without
But Emone thing's certain: B7only the names have chEmangedEm  
And I think of you sometimes baby
But I'm the Asame sweet girl you Gcouldn't get enough of
EmWay back when you plAedged your love
   EmAnd you'd drive to fEmind me through the pouring B7rainB7  
Now I Ahear all about your Grunning around
EmMan you're a legend all Aover town
The moEmre things change, the B7more they remain the sEmameEm  
[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout

Em Em Em Em

[intro]

Em Em

Well I think of you sometimes at night

Em Em

And sometimes it's still the same

Em Em B7 B7

The way that it was when I was the keeper of your flame

Em Em

We all have our ghosts, we all have our doubts

A G

I'm no different with you or without

Em B7 Em Em

But one thing's certain: only the names have changed

And I think of you sometimes baby

A G

But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of

Em A

Way back when you pledged your love

Em Em B7 B7

And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain

A G

Now I hear all about your running around

Em A

Man you're a legend all over town

Em B7 Em Em

The more things change, the more they remain the same

[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]

Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard

The sound of a broken heart

It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about

And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do

Is face the one who's done it to you

His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout
