Intro (E-C#m-C-D) with solo guitar melody line

Muted dirty guitar

E5                     F#5

And when I wake up in the morning

C5                         E5

To feel the daybreak on my face

E5                                      F#5

There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling

C5                          E5

With a knife to open up the sky's vein

E                      C#m

Some things...will never change

C

They just stand there looking backwards

D

Half unconscious from the pain

E              C#m

It may seem...rearranged

C                        D

In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

And when I shoulda' been gone a long time Laughs...and says I find ways Just when we're sheltered under paper The rockets come at us sideways

E                      C#m

Some things...will never change

C

They just stand there looking backwards

D

Half unconscious from the pain

E              C#m

It may seem...rearranged

C                        D

In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

F-G       C       B

Hey...I'm blind

D

Good...fine

C       B

Roll the time

D

On whose dime?

-Solo-(over E-C#m-C-D)

And when I wake up in the morning To feel the daybreak on my face There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling With a knife to open up the sky's vein

Some things...will never change They just stand there looking backwards Half unconscious from the pain It may seem...rearranged In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

Some things...will never change They just stand there looking backwards Half unconscious from the pain It may seem...rearranged In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
