[Intro]
E D/E A/E E
[Verse 1]
E
(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E
(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
A/E
(Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
E
(Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
E
(Gold rush) The swinging of a wrecking ball
D/E
(Gold rush) Through these lath and plaster walls
A/E
(Gold rush) Is letting all the shadows free
E
(Gold rush) The ones I wish still followed me
[Chorus 1]
E/G# A
(Change) Followed me, followed me
E
(Please don't change)
E/G# A
(Stay) Followed me, followed me
E
(Stay the same)
[Verse 2]
E
(Gold rush) I remember a winter's night
D/E
(Gold rush) We kissed beneath the street lamp light
A/E
(Gold rush) Outside a bar near the record store
E
(Gold rush) That have been condos for a year and more
E
(Gold rush) Now that our haunts have taken flight
D/E
(Gold rush) And been replaced with construction sites
A/E
(Gold rush) Oh, how I feel like a stranger here
E
(Gold rush) Searching for something that's disappeared
E
(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E
(Gold rush) For what they say is the greater good
A/E
(Gold rush) But all I see is a long goodbye
E
(Gold rush) A requiem for a skyline
E
(Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
D/E
(Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
A/E
(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[Chorus 2]
E/G# A
(Change) Be this way, be this way
E
(Please don't change)
E/G# A
(Stay) Be this way, be this way
E
(Stay the same)
E/G# A
(Cranes) Be this way, be this way
E
(Devour the light)
E/G# A
(Strange) Be this way, be this way
E
(Appetite)
[Bridge]
Esus4
And I've ascribed these monuments
E
A false sense of permanence
Esus4
I've placed faith in geography
E
To hold you in my memory
Esus4
(Gold rush) I'm sifting through these wreckage piles
E
(Gold rush) Through the rubble of bricks and wires
Bsus4
(Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
Bsus4
(Gold rush) Looking for something I'll never find
[Verse 3]
E
(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood
D/E
(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
A/E
(Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down
E
(Gold rush) So that the cars can live underground
E
(Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you
D/E
(Gold rush) Because every dive becomes something new
A/E
(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
[Outro]
E
(Change, please don't change)
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
D/E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
A/E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
E
(Stay, stay the same)
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
D/E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
A/E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
E
(Gold rush) It didn't used to be this way
E
Change (Gold rush)
D/E
(Gold rush)
A/E
Please don't change (Gold rush)
E
(Gold rush)
E
Stay (Gold rush)
D/E
(Gold rush)
A/E
Stay the same (Gold rush)
E
(Gold rush)
