[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 use 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 use to be this way


[Outro]
  E                                          
Change (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
D/E                                       A/E

 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E
 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
  E                                     
Stay (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
D/E                                   A/E
 (Gold rush) (It didn't...) Stay the same (...use to be this way)

 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E
 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
  E                                          
Change (Gold rush)
D/E                         A/E
 (Gold rush) Please don't change

 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
E
 (Gold rush) (It didn't use to be this way)
  E                                     
Stay (Gold rush)
D/E                    A/E
