Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
You took a trip
And climbed a tree
At Robert Sledge's party
And there you stayed 'til morning came
And you were not the same after that
You gave your life
To Jesus Christ
And after all your friends went home
You came down
You looked around
And you were not the same after that
Aaah Aaah
You were not the same after that
Aaah Aaah
You were not the same after that
You see them drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin on, you're hangin on
To it...
(same chords as before)
You took the word
And made it heard
And eased the people's pain and for that
You were idolized, immortalized
You were not the same after that
Walking tall
You'd bought it all
You were not the same after that
'Till someone died
On the water slide
And you were not the same after that
(yep, same chords as chorus before)
You see them drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin on
You're hangin on
To it...
Ooh ooh ooh (You were not the same)
Ooh ooh ooh
You see them drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin on
You're hangin on
(You see them drop like flies)
You're hangin on
You're hangin on
You're hangin on
If it's a bit tricky it's probably worth remembering that Ben Folds is a pianist and not
guitarist, some of this song is a bit idiosyncratically written for piano. But it's a
song so can't complain!!
