Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
----------------------------------------------
[Capo 3]
[Each chord is one measure]
[Actually, the Em's almost sound like E5's and the A's in the verse
sound like A5's...]
Em Em Em Em
[intro]
Em Em
Well I think of you sometimes at night
Em Em
And sometimes it's still the same
Em Em B7 B7
The way that it was when I was the keeper of your flame
Em Em
We all have our ghosts, we all have our doubts
A G
I'm no different with you or without
Em B7 Em Em
But one thing's certain: only the names have changed
And I think of you sometimes baby
When an old friend gives a call
And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all
'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours
We all have our way of closing the door
But it takes some time to get up when you fall
A G
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Em A
Way back when you pledged your love
Em Em B7 B7
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
A G
Now I hear all about your running around
Em A
Man you're a legend all over town
Em B7 Em Em
The more things change, the more they remain the same
[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]
Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Way back when you pledged your love
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same
Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same
