[Verse 1]
CLet's not spill the tEruth
AmIt's easier being alFmaj7one
CYou're a shadow of the Eold
AmAnd I want something nFmaj7ew
CYou've quit dreaming Eagain
AmI can see it now cleFmaj7ar
CBut I wake up every mEorning
AmWith the big black aFmaj7nd the blue

You tell me you have chCanged
AmWell we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty waEys

AmEven the most peaceful town
Once was a battlegrouCnd

Someone dares to demoCnstrate
AmWell we all fight in our own ways
But nothing ever chEange

Let's not spill the truth

It's easier being alone

You're a shadow of the old

Am Fmaj7

And I want something new

You've quit dreaming again

I can see it now clear

You'll start drinking again

I can see it now clear

How you'll wake up every morning

Am Fmaj7

With a new bird in your cage

[Bridge]

Even the most peaceful town

Once was a battleground

Well we all change in our own ways

In our own pretty ways

Even in our police state

Someone dares to demonstrate

Well we all fight in our own ways

But nothing ever change

[Interlude]
