[Intro]
   E    Ax3
[Verse 1]
ESmile at the morning but it goes away,
After Etwo cups of coffee it's back to the same
Nothing's Achanged
[Verse 2]
  EMy eyes are sinking and they're tired and red
  EI drink so I can go to bed
And I Aneed a new soul, Got a hole in my shoe
AReached into my pocket there's a hole in there too
[Verse 3]
EThe silk of summer's blowing away
EGrocery stores are putting out a new floor display
  AOmit the signal under observation glass
AI'm pulling over just to let it all pass
[Verse 4]
ESpend the day not knowing what to say
  EWhat I should keep, what I should throw awAay
[Chorus]
  C#mI drive through cities and EI fall in love
  AI'm gonna leave when my lease is up
  C#mI'm rinsing out Eyesterday's glass
I Aneed an aphorism
[Post-chorus]
Nothing's Echanged, nothing’s AchangedE  A  
[Verse 5]
EInvitation came I used to know the bride
I'm a Elittle off beat, Maybe I should just hide my
AWounds. In the slow moving sway
Of the Agreen blanket pines so far away
[Verse 6]
My Ebrother up in Denver has it pretty good
ESeems to work out for people who are understood
I guess Asome have to run in order to breathe
ACut down to the bone to learn that lonely is free
[Verse 7]
Every Eday outstretches to a new point of low
As AEmerica lights up to her new favorite show
RelAigion is good Madonna says so
And Aall the boys want to look more rock and roll
[Chorus]
  C#mI drive through cities and I Efall in love
  AI'm gonna leave when my lease is up
  C#mI'm rinsing out Eyesterday's glass
I Aneed an aphorism
[Post-chorus]
Nothing's Echanged, nothing’s Achanged
[Instrumental]
   C#m     E    Ax2
[Bridge]
  C#mI'm rinsing out yEesterday's glass
I Aneed and aphorism that's gonna last
  C#mI drive through cities and I Efall in love
  AI'm gonna leave when my lease is up
  ENothing's Achanged, nothing’s
EChanged, nothing's Achanged

C#m

[Intro]

E A

[Verse 1]

Smile at the morning but it goes away,

After two cups of coffee it's back to the same

Nothing's changed

[Verse 2]

My eyes are sinking and they're tired and red

I drink so I can go to bed

And I need a new soul, Got a hole in my shoe

Reached into my pocket there's a hole in there too

[Verse 3]

The silk of summer's blowing away

Grocery stores are putting out a new floor display

Omit the signal under observation glass

I'm pulling over just to let it all pass

[Verse 4]

Spend the day not knowing what to say

E A

What I should keep, what I should throw away

[Chorus]

C#m E

I drive through cities and I fall in love

I'm gonna leave when my lease is up

C#m E

I'm rinsing out yesterday's glass

I need an aphorism

[Post-chorus]

E A E A

Nothing's changed, nothing’s changed

[Verse 5]

Invitation came I used to know the bride

I'm a little off beat, Maybe I should just hide my

Wounds. In the slow moving sway

Of the green blanket pines so far away

[Verse 6]

My brother up in Denver has it pretty good

Seems to work out for people who are understood

I guess some have to run in order to breathe

Cut down to the bone to learn that lonely is free

[Verse 7]

Every day outstretches to a new point of low

As America lights up to her new favorite show

Religion is good Madonna says so

And all the boys want to look more rock and roll

[Chorus]

C#m E

I drive through cities and I fall in love

I'm gonna leave when my lease is up

C#m E

I'm rinsing out yesterday's glass

I need an aphorism

[Post-chorus]

E A

Nothing's changed, nothing’s changed

[Instrumental]

C#m E A

[Bridge]

C#m E

I'm rinsing out yesterday's glass

I need and aphorism that's gonna last

C#m E

I drive through cities and I fall in love

I'm gonna leave when my lease is up

E A

Nothing's changed, nothing’s

E A

Changed, nothing's changed

[Outro]
