   Bm                G
A boy alone, and so far from home
D        A   D     A      F#
Endless rooftops from my window
I felt the gloom of empty rooms
On rainy afternoons

 G                Bm
Sometimes, in confusion
           C             A
I felt so lost and disillusioned
D                 D#dim
Innocence gave me confidence
      E                 C G
To go up against reality

Chorus:
Am
All the same
            Bm  Am
We take our chances
G              D
Laughed at by time
  C                G
Tricked by circumstances
       Am
Plus a change
              Bm    Am
Plus c'est la meme chose
     G                 D
The more that things change
     C                  Am Bm Am G D G D
The more they stay the same

Now I've gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality

These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me
Just one more whos searching for
A world that ought to be
