[ verse 1 ]
( Em ) D Em
on the path of life , i wish you well
Am D G E7
divergent journeys , but we will meet again in hell
Am D Em
i kept my head down and moved on
Am D Em
til every friend i’d known was gone

[ chorus ]
Am D D#dim7 Em
then , one day , i was not alone
Am Em
everything had changed , everything was strange
Am Em
everything had changed , everything was strange

[ verse 2 ]
when in rags and when in wealth
a solemn promise never to give too much of myself
despite the hopeful things i’ve said
i’ve lived my life inside my head

[ chorus ]
then , one day , i was not alone
everything had changed , everything was strange
everything had changed , everything was strange

[ bridge ]
A Asus2/F# Asus2
i hold my breath and count to ten
F# Bm
i hate it now; hated it then

a failure and a bore
Bm/A E
but that’s what friends are for

[ verse 3 ]
so it seems i must have won
as i survey the ashes of the damage that i’ve done
everyone i’ve ever known
is just as closed off and alone

[ chorus ]
then , one day , i was not alone
everything had changed , everything was strange
everything had changed , everything was strange

everything had changed , everything
