🎸 Intro:

D    Dmaj7sus2   G   D

G   D   A



🎸 Verse 1:
D                Dmaj7sus2
Bread and roses, bread and roses
      G              D
From endless winter something pokes
     G                D              A
Its head out of the darkness to the sun
       D             Dmaj7sus2
I was crying while I wrote this song
    G              D
Don't sue me if I get it wrong
G                D           A
  Me? I'm just missing everyone

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Em        Bm              A
  Oh my friend
I must admit
             Bm              A                G
It's been a year of slowly going through the ****
Em            Bm             A
  A year of hoping and just holding on

🎸 Chorus:
    G      A    D              Bm
And oh
I know everything must change
 G               A      D                Bm
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
       G                 A             F#/A#             Bm
But I look outside the window and the world it looks so strange
     G        A                   D
And only the old songs sound the same

🎸 Interlude:
Dmaj7sus2   G   D

G   D   A


🎸 Verse 2:
D                Dmaj7sus2
Curtains down in empty halls
     G                D
The sound of silence drapes the walls
G                       D                A
  Where do the people go, where do they go?
D               Dmaj7sus2
We go to sleep and dream of things
       G             D
Like beauty and we wait for spring
G                D                      A
  And when she comes, well then, we'll know

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Em         D            A
  Yeah we saw it going down
          Bm                 A                G
Walking through the lonely, empty, shuttered towns
Em         D              A
  All the places that we used go

🎸 Chorus:
     G     A     D              Bm
And oh
I know everything must change
  G               A     D                Bm
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
       G                A             F#/A#               Bm
But I look outside the window and the world it looks so strange
     G        A                   D   Dmaj7sus2
And only the old songs sound the same
 G        A                   Bm
Only the old songs sound the same

🎸 Outro:
G         A                   D   Dmaj7sus2   G   D
Only the old songs sound the same
