Blackberry Smoke - Aint The Same Live Chords

[Intro]
F C G
 
[Verse 1]
 
C
He saw the lightnin' flash across the clear blue sky
Em
Saw the rain creep across the road
Dm
Well he stopped and said that's just the devil beatin' his wife
G
Some old tale the old folks told
C
It's a five mile walk between here and a town
Em
On a road lined with sugarcane
Dm
They won't notice if it goes anywhere
G
Here lately it's like they've forgotten his name
Am       Em              G
He just can't forget the way
 
[Chorus]
 
F                            C
That the days seemed so much brighter
Am                                     Em
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
F                    C              G
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
F                             C
This old place seemed so much bigger
Am                             Em
Now he sees it all a different way
F               C                        G
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
 
[Verse 2]
 
C
He's been back from overseas about thirty days
Em
He returned standin' proud and true
Dm
Yeah the new's worn offa his welcome home
G
Like the heat burnin' off the dew
C
Empty bottles that mean the bills ain't gettin' paid
Em
Same holes knocked in the walls
Dm
Mama don't fight back like in her younger years
G
Goin' over the edge well it's a hell of a fall
Am     Em             G
Can he just go back a page?
 
[Chorus]
 
F                            C
That the days seemed so much brighter
Am                                     Em
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
F                    C              G
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
F                             C
This old place seemed so much bigger
Am                             Em
Now he sees it all a different way
F               C                        G
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
 
C G F   G (x3)
C G Am Em G
 
[Verse 3]
 
C
He don't know what he's headin' for
Em
But the buses run right on time
Dm
Anywhere's better than stayin' here
G
With the ghosts runnin' through his mind
Am               Em
Things that he's seen and done
Am          Em
So much for any mother's son
Am              Em
To live down or try to run away from
G
Can he run?
 
[Chorus]
 
F                            C
That the days seemed so much brighter
Am                                     Em
And the breeze could blow the troubles away
F                    C              G
You could see angels dancin' in the flame
F                             C
This old place seemed so much bigger
Am                              Em
Now he sees it all a different way
F               C                        G
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
