Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
My [G]dreams they never fail me,
[C]they never miss the mark
I'm [G]sleeping at the strangest hours,
try[D]ing to beat the [G]clock
If a picture's worth a thousand words,
a [C]photograph proves that
[D]How [G]can you even picture love
[D]if you can't afford to [G]lie?
It's [D]changing like a [G]roll of dice
and [C]nothing's really [G]sure
[D]Pain is spreading [G]like disease an
[D]d there a[C]in't no e[D]asy cure
[G]Below the blackened skyline,
be[C]hind the smoking rain
Dreams [G]never burned to
ashes up un[D]til[C]
Until everything [G]changed[C]
Until everything [G]changed[C]
[D]Well, [G]I used to be an optimist,
used [C]to play the lottery
Now [G]I don't even bother to lock
the [D]front door when I leave
[G]My bed's a worn -out boxing ring,
my [C]life's a run -down gym
Went [G]once with
Charles
Bukowski, he's [D]now
Emily
Dickinson
[G]My [D]future has moved out[G] of town,
it's that [C]emptiness you [G]hear
[D]The silent empty [G]tower shouts,
the [C]coast was never [D]clear
But I look [G]out on the highway,
[C]things are getting strange
Didn't it [G]all seem so familiar
be[D]fore?[G][C]
Before everything [G]changed
Be[C]fore everything [D]changed[G][C]
[G]Sittin' in this sad cafe
Star[C]in' in your eyes
Look[G]in' good but changed to mean
Look[D]in' old and [G]wise
Sidelined by the future
leaves [C]only us to blame
The [G]future for wins and soon forgets
The [D]fu ture don't ex[G]plain
[D]Don't need illumina[G]tion
[D]Don't [C]need no poison [G]pens
[D]Words can live their own [G]life
They know ex[C]actly what they [D]mean
But I miss you [G]more than I did before
[D]Noth[C]ing feels the same
Didn't we [G]all feel vain and selfish
short for rapid [D]war?[C]
Before everything [G]changed[C]
Before everything [D]changed[G][C]
[G]Stuck and clouded over,
the [C]rivers are rising fast
My [G]baby's love was sad and true,
[D]I knew it wouldn't last
[G]I heard a midnight special
pass [C]by an hour ago
Is there [G]something here to get me high,
a [D]man who sung so [G]low
[D]The clock ain't turning back[G]wards,
the [C]sands blow at my [G]feet
If you [D]ever hear from the man [G]upstairs,
[D]I'd lov[C]e to hear him spe[D]ak
Well, I'm cashing [G]all my checks in,
[D]too [C]dumb to play the game
[D]I u[G]sed to plan an hour ahead, up u[D]ntil...[C]
Until everything [G]changed[C]
Until everything [D]changed[G][C]
Un[Em]til [G]everything's c[C]hanged
Until everything's [G]changed
[C][G][C][G][C]
[G][C][C][G]
