F#m Bm
I could believe in all my youth,
C#m F#m
but soon it will be gone
Bm
But you've stabbed my excuse,
C#m F#m
so please don't get me wrong
Bm
I've all the time in the world for you,
Bsus4 C#m

C#m
F#m E
she's not right now
D E F#m
Every meeting was bittersweet
E D
You were not to know,
E F#m
it was not to be
I could give you the truth
Bm C#m F#m
But I'm too much of a coward for that
Well if you need an ego boost
Bm Bsus4
Let me tell you you're the
C#m A F#m
best I've ever had
I've all the time in the
Bm Bsus4 Bm
world for you
C#m F#m

E F#m
A D E
So now, the stage is set
C#m F#m
For you and I to both get upset
D
But you should know,
E C#m
I's been cruel to the cat
F#m
At least that's what I keep telling myself
D E F#m E F#m D E F#m
Hey!
D E F#m
Everything was bittersweet
D
You were not to know,
E F#m E
you were not to be
D E F#m Bm A
It's all a bit too soon
D E F#m Bm
It's all a bit too soon
A D E F#m
It's so, it's so sweet
You
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Tryin' to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
Well, I've never prayed, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
I can't change it you know
I can't change it
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Tryin' to make ends meet, tryin' to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know, I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just I can't change my violence, melody and violence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down (sex and violence, melody and silence)
It's just I can't change my violence, melody and silence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down (sex and violence, melody and silence)
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
