Tim McGraw - Things Change
From "Set This Circus Down" (2001)
(Aimee Mayo, Bill Luther, Chris Lindsey, Marv Green)
INTRO: [G] [C] [G] [C]
They [G]wouldn't let him play the Opry
With [C]whiskey on his breath
it [G]didn't take them long
To figure [C]out what they'd missed
He went [D]down that lost highway
Under[C]neath that purple sky
A [Am]legend disap[D]peared before his [G]time
Things [C]change [G] [C]
They [G]said he was the devil
[C]Dressed in gold lame'
The [G]way he shook his hips
[C]Up there on that stage
But be[D]fore that fateful day
When [C]he left Tennessee
[Am]All of them were [D]calling him "The [G]King"
Things [C]change [G] [C]
Well they [G]like to call them hippies
[C]Outlaws with guitars
But they [G]brought a little poetry
To the [C]honky-tonks and bars
They might have [D]got a little too crazy
They might have [C]flown a little too high
But some[Am]where somebody's [D]playing their songs [G]tonight
Things [C]change, don't you know they [G]change [C]
INSTRUMENTAL: [F] [Am] [A#] [D]
Some [G]say it's too country
Some [C]say it's too rock and roll
[G] But it's just good music
If you [C]could feel it in your soul
And it [D]doesn't really matter
It al[C]ways looks the same
[Am]Life goes [D]on but things [G]change
OUTRO: [G] [C] (Repeat Until End)
Things change
Things change
Don't you know they change, yeah yeah yeah
Things, they keep me from changing
Gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on changing
Cause things change
