Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well I think  of you sometimes  at night
 And sometimes  it's still the same
 The way  that it was when I  was the keeper of  your flame
 We all  have our ghosts, we all  have our doubts
I'm  no different with you  or without
 But one  thing's certain: only  the names have changed
 And I think of you sometimes baby
 When an old friend gives a call
 And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all
 'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours
 We all have our way of closing the door
 But it takes some time to get up when you fall
 But I'm the same  sweet girl you couldn't  get enough of
Way  back when you pledged  your love
 And you'd drive to find  me through the pouring rain
 Now I hear  all about your running  around
Man  you're a legend all over  town
 The more  things change, the more  they remain the same
 Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
 The sound of a broken heart
 It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
 And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
 Is face the one who's done it to you
 His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout
 But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
 Way back when you pledged your love
 And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
 Now I hear all about your running around
 Man you're a legend all over town
 The more things change, the more they remain the same
 Now I hear all about your running around
 Man you're a legend all over town
 The more things change, the more they remain the same

[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]

Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout

But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Way back when you pledged your love
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same

Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same
