Ben Folds - Not the Same from "Rockin' the Suburbs"
C major, 4/4
Do is supposed to be D diminished, I couldn't make the stupid circle go up the top where
belongs, d'oh!
Verse 1:
You Ctook a trip
And G/Cclimbed a tree
Do/C C
At Robert Sledge's party
And Cthere you stayed 'til G/Cmorning came
Do/C C
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
Pre-Chorus:
Am7Aaah AaaFmaj7h
C You were not the Gsame after that
Am7Aaah Fmaj7 Aaah
C You werGe not the same after that
Chorus:
You see them Fmaj7drop like flies
From the Gbright sunny skies
They come Fmaj7knocking at your door
With this Glook in their eyes
You got Fmaj7one good trick
And you're Ghangin' on, you're hangin' on
C2 To it...
Verse 2: (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
Chorus: (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...
Pre-Chorus:
Am7Ooh oFmaj7oh ooh C (You Gwere not the same)
Am7Ooh oFmaj7oh ooh C G
Chorus:
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 seeFmaj7 them drop like flies)
G YoFmaj7u're hangin' on
G YoFmaj7u're hangin' on
G You're hangin' on
Outro:
C G/C Do/C C
C G/C Do/C C
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!!
