Capo 1st fret


[Intro]
B


[Verse 1]
B
I swear, it's like a time machine
B                            C
Like stepping right back to '73
B
Something out of some old movie scene
    B                    C
Our heroes just hanging around
  B
A lot of love found on this old dance floor
       B                         C
It's a shame it ain't busy as it was before
B
New money moved in next door
            B                        C
And they're talking 'bout tearing it down


[Chorus]
   B                  C       B
If you ask me, it's a helluva sight
       B                    C
Like a middle finger in the air
             B
Next to that big ole high rise
B             C          Gm                B
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Cm      C                 B
Amen to things that never change


[Verse 2]
B
Melodies are gonna come and go
   B                  C
Up on a stage or on a radio
B
Word by word, note by note
         B             C
And just fade into the night
    B
But those old classic jukebox songs
          B                      C
Are gonna stay right there where they belong
    B
And even though time keeps marching on
                  B                 C
They're still the soundtrack of our lives


[Chorus]
B                    C         B
Blue Eyes Cryin' and Sweet Caroline
          B              C
Yeah, the ones you sing along to
           B
That ain't ever going out of style
B             C          Gm                B
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Cm7     C                 B
Amen to things that never change


[Guitar Solo]
B C Gm B Cm7 C B


[Chorus]
   B                     C               B
If you need us, we'll be out here on the road
     B                 C
Just like we've always been
         B
'Bout to play us another show
B             C          Gm                B
Still hanging on strong enough to stay the same
Cm7                       C
Amen to things that never change
     B        C                 B
Yeah, amen to things that never change
