Intro: G D Em Em (4x) 
 
 
Verse: 
 
C                               D                                Em 
Every day's the same routine of endless chores and boring details 
 
                    C                          D                            Em 
And you know you're waiting for the perfect condition for your ship to set sail 
 
                  Bm               Em 
But of course the climate's always changing 
 
               Bm               Em 
Clining to the past has got you straining 
 
               C                      D                       Em 
Comes the recognition now you're on a mission that is born to fail 
 
(Leave it!) 
 
 
 
 
G       D        Em 
Brothers say goodbye 
 
G      D          Em 
Sisters don't you cry 
 
C  D            Em 
All embrace the times 
 
C      C               Em 
Wade into the changing tide 
 
 
Verse 
Searching for philosophy of life can be a drag on the soul 
Nowadays we pick and choose the pieces from other people's wisdom of old 
 
But of course the climate's always changing 
Clinging to the past has got you straining 
Realizing all your most cherished beliefs are subject to rot and mold 
(come on!) 
 
 
Brothers say goodbye 
Sisters don't you cry 
All embrace the times 
Wade into the changing tide
