D         				D/B
And when all this time's on my hands
Cadd9					Dadd9
And dreaming makes the sun fade away
D					D/B
I know depending on all my friends
Cadd9				Dadd9
Leads you to wish me to change
D					D/B		
Its all the same to this simple mind
Cadd9					Dadd9
Leads you to pride and truth
D					D/B		
And all the things that stay the same
Cadd9					Dadd9
Will steal the breath from you

D   D/B   Cadd9   Dadd9

D				   D/B
I'm gonna take all of these rocks and
Cadd9				Dadd9
Throw them into the sea
D				  D/B
If one should get up and float away
Cadd9				Dadd9
I know thats what I'll need

**Chorus**
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/purdom_tom/things_stay_the_same_crd.html ]
	   G
And I feel
D5
Like I'm someone else
	   G
And it seems 
D5
To be my soul
	  G
And I feel
D5
That I cannot tell
    Bm
If this life is short
    	A
But a living hell
	   G
And I feel
D5
That she's to blame
		G
For my heart my soul
	  D5
And my eager frame of mind
		Bm		
So whats my hurry then
		A
Its all these little things that stay the same

And I feel

D   D/B   Cadd9	Dadd9

D				D/B
I'll make some empty promises
Cadd9				Dadd9
And we'll both smile and nod
D				D/B		
We'd cried how could we get through this
Cadd9				Dadd9		
And then we'd laugh at the thought
D				D/B
For its love, sweet love, its our common goal
Cadd9							Dadd9
And all these things that stay the same, will steal my soul

*Chorus*

*Chorus 2*
	   G
And I feel
D5				G
Things have been the same
D5			G
Since she went away
D5				Bm
All I know its just the way
			   A
She moves across a crowded room
	  G
And I feel
D5				G
That time and time again
D5				G
All we have are friends
D5				 Bm
But oh my God its just the way 
				A
She moves, its just the way she moves


G				D5
And I feel the dark is straight ahead
G				D5
But all I have can't be replaced
G				D5
And somethings must never change
Bm				A
These feelings, about here
G				D5	
And I hold my heart, in my hands
G				D5
Letting life just fall whereever
G				D5
And I can't help but wonder if
Bm				A
I'll ever fall in love again
		D
And I feel.



There it is, in a nutshell.  Great song, great artist, check him out!
