      Bm A   Bm A
There's a little black spot on the sun today
         Gmaj7    A        Gmaj   A   
F#m/C#  G/D
It's the same old thing as yesterday
          Bm        A             Bm        A  
      Bm A  BmA

There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop

[Chorus 1]
       D            A/E             D/F#    G*
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         D             A/E              D/F#     G*
with the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
        D          A/E                D/F#      G*
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
         D       A/E          D/F#    G*
but it's my destiny to be the king of pain.

[Bridge]
A         G         A               G         A
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
          G         A             G         A
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt;
          G        A             G      G
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
          G        A            G       Bm
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
         D             E/A              D/F#     G
with the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
