Blackberry Smoke – Aint The Same (Guitar Live)

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 he goes anywhere

G
Here lately it's like they've forgotten his name

Am       Em              G
He just can't forget the way

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
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?

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
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?

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
