Very easy song. I'll try and describe the intro & verse strumming pattern.
e-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|-0<----0-0-|
B-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-3>----3-3-|-2>----2-2-|
G-1<----1-1-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|
D-2>----2-2-|-2>----2-2-|-0>----0-0-|-2>----2-2-|
A-2<----2-2-|-2<----2-2-|-----------|-0<----0-0-|
E-0>----0-0-|-0>----0-0-|-----------|-----------|
(Raked)
The strumming matches the vocals. If its 4/4 timing, the rake lasts for three, and
the other two last for one. Hope you understand that.
Strumming is just normal for the chorus
[Intro]
E, Esus4, Dsus2, A
[Verse 1]
E Esus4 Dsus2 A E Esus4 Dsus2 A
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
E Esus4 Dsus2 A E
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
Esus4 Dsus2 A
E Esus4 Dsus2 A E Esus4 Dsus2 A
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet,
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
yeah
[Chorus]
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
E Esus4 Dsus2 A
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
