Shes Not The Same

Gordon Lightfoot


Tom: C

[INTRO:] C        Dm

[VERSE 1:]
                     G     Dm
Ah, the living ain't easy 
                  G               Dm
With all of these false emotions 
             G
Too little devotion and I'm tired of just 
C
Being alone, she's not the same 

She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame 
                                             Dm
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain


[VERSE 2:]
              G        Dm
Like any good gambler 
                   G              Dm
I was chained to a wishing well 
                  G
I keep wishing in vain, but listen friend 
C
Don't look now, she's right behind you 

Looking for someone to take her inside 
                                        Dm
It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride


[VERSE 3:]
               G     Dm
I'm a little uneasy 
                     G                Dm
And there ain't much pride inside me 
                      G
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
     C
It's too late now, she's not the same 
                                                 Dm
She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame


[VERSE 4:]
               G           Dm
Anytime is the right time 
                 G              Dm
To get on with a new tomorrow 
                      G
But I could never let yesterday go 
             C
And when the falling rain makes me sad 

She comes to me in the dreams I've had 
                                            Dm
In the morning light, in the dead of night


[VERSE 5:]
                     G      Dm
Ah, the loving ain't easy 
                 G            Dm
I let it get the best of me 
                      G
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
     C
It's too late now, she don't talk no more 

She don't make me feel like she did before 
                                                   Dm
There's too much wait and too much give and take


[VERSE 6:]
               G     Dm
I'm a little uneasy 
                     G                Dm
And there ain't much pride inside me 
                      G
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you 
     C
It's too late now, she's not the same
