Chorus:
E            G#m  A      E          B
Why can't I change after all these years?
C#m          G#m       B
Why can't I change my ways?
C#m       G#m       A      E          B
I find it so strange after all these years
C#m       G#m               B
I'm still more or less the same

E          G#m A            E           B     C#m
Wherever I go,  whatever I do, whatever I know
         G#m               B
It just comes and goes so soon
C#m             G#m A           Am
Whatever life brings, whatever song it sings
E           C#m                   B
I'm still whistling the same old tune

Chorus

Whoever I'm with,  whatever I take, whatever I give
I'm still running the same old ways
Whatever choice I make,  whatever road I take
But I still wind up in the same old place

Chorus

                      A     C#m   B
I'm more or less the same, yeah, yeah
                      A     C#m   B
I'm more or less the same, yeah, yeah
