The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

G#
Is it just me or does anybody see
   C#
The new improved tomorrow isn't what it used to be
Bbm
Yesterday keeps coming round it's just reality
         C#                      Eb
It's the same damned song with a different melody

G#
The market keeps on crashing
Tattered jeans are back in fashion
  C#
Instead of records now i t's MP3s
           Bbm
I tell you one more time with feeling
Even though this world is reeling
             C#               Eb
You're still you and I'm still me

  Bbm
I didn't mean to cause a scene
      C#                             Eb
But I guess it's time to roll up our sleeves

G#
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
    C#
The same sun rises just another day
Bbm
You can hang in long enough to say you're coming back
   C#
Just take a look we're living proof
   Eb
And baby that's a fact
You know

              G#
You're either running round in circles or
You're running out of time
C#
Everybodies somewhere either twelve three six or nine
    Bbm
The times they are a changin'
We're here to turn the page
C#                               Eb
Just the same old story but it's told a different way

G#
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
    C#
The same sun rises just another day
Bbm
You can hang in long enough to say you're coming back
   C#
Just take a look we're living proof
   Eb
And baby that's a fact
You know
G#
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
C#
Never and forever just keep coming back again
     Bbm
Don't hold out for tomorrow or hold on to yesterday
C#                         Eb

            Bbm
Here come the rappers, the dancers and the remixed drum machine
C#                           Eb
This one is for the CEOs and record companies
