In The Meantime by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2018 G ' ' D | A | ' | D A In the meantime I'll be waiting, G D ' ' A | Though the dust has barely settled. G D A | ' The rain upon my window lingers on. | D A It may seem like a different lifetime, G D ' ' A | A whole new direction. G A D | | A whole new direction now that you're gone. A In the meantime I'll be hoping G D ' ' A | That it doesn't last forever, G D A | ' This ever lasting feeling I'm alone. | D A There's a greenlight if I'm patient G D ' ' A | At every intersection, G A D | ' ' ' A | And every intersection faces home. G A D G ' ' D I picture every moment from sunrise to the end of the day G A D | ' ' ' A | Eating me the same way its eating at me now. G A D A G It isn't my decision if I can break to start it up again. D G D A | ' I would start it up again if I knew how. D A In the meantime I'll be waiting. G D ' ' A | Maybe time will do some healing G D A | ' To fill this empty heart, and this empty hand. | D A And its between my lamentations, G D ' ' A My broken dreams discarded, | G A D | ' ' ' A | The memory you left me I don't understand. G A D | A G | D The memory you left me in the meantime.

Could We Ever Stay Together by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2018 A | B7 | E B7 E B7 I'm not sure. I don't know. A B7 A B7 Could we ever stay together? Were we made for one another? E B7 E B7 I've endured. Tried to grow. A B7 A B7 But we never stay together. Always hurting one another. A B7 E A I'm aware I have told you, so many times I know, B7 E There's no way I'd ever let you go. A B7 E B A I'm still here, I'm not complaining, but its weighing on my mind, B7 Playing on my mind like its the radio. E B7 E B7 Hide my tears. Make my show. A B7 E | A B7 | Could we ever stay together? I don't know. E | B7 | E | B7 | A B7 A B7 But we never stay together. Always hurting one another. A B7 E A I can't tell if you believe me, or going with the flow, B7 E When I talk about the changes we undergo. A B7 E B A I'm not clear if you're pretending or its what I want to hear, B7 When I help you dry your tears as tears overflow. E B7 E B7 Gave my heart long ago. A B7 E | A B7 | Could we ever stay together? I don't know. A B7 E | B7 | E Could we ever stay together? I don't know.

Does It Ever Change by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2018 Dm | Bb C | F | Bb C | F C Dm Bb Same head of hair, a little grey around the temples. F C Bb | ' ' ' C | A different stare from a different set of eyes. F C Dm Bb And I'm headed back to what never gets forgotten. Am Bb C | | It hides around my neck from the inside. Bb C F C Bb Now looking back it fades to black, its hard to remember. C Dm | ' ' ' C | What lurks in the past may be going for the ride. Bb C Am Bb And I don't want to know if I'm the same, I may not like the answer. Dm Bb C | | Does it ever change when it happens on the inside. F C Dm Bb Pull down my mask, button up my cuffs, unforgiven and denied. Dm Bb C F | Bb C | Does it ever change when it happens on the inside. F | C | Dm | Bb | Dm | Bb | C | | Bb C Am Bb I don't need to ask, there's nothing left, but saying that I'm sorry. Dm Bb C | | Open up my chest, arms open wide. F C Dm Bb Pull up my socks. Close up my shoes laced and polished. Dm Bb C F | Bb C | Does it ever change when it happens on the inside. F | C | Dm | Bb | Dm Bb C F | Bb C | F Does it ever change when it happens on the inside.

[CHORUS] | G | C | G | | No, I won't be the last. D C There are mem'ries. There are pictures. There are street signs. G D | | There are names. And then there's change. C D G | C | G | | And there's ways to moving on without taking all the blame. G | | D | | C | | G | | D Making my throw. Shooting a line. C G However it goes. I'll take the chances.
