Coca Cola changed until so many complained 
                           E 
They went back to the real thing 
E       D              A  
Nothing ever stays the same 
 
         E                 D               A 
ATT or MCI, either way you go the price is high 
                        E 
You cant always trust a name 
                                   A      D     
When something is good why does it change 
 
 
Ford and Chevrolet, there makin these smaller cars these days 
I miss my ol' 68 
When something's good,  why does it change 
Clint Eastwood and Ol' John Wayne 
They love cowboys the love trains 
Riding cross the silver screen 
See they were smart they never changed 
 
 
Bridge: 
                     D 
So why should me and you  
                           A  
Go through what were going through  
                     E 
When all we've gotta do 
         D              A 
Is just love each other true 
                  D 
It was so easy to stay 
                       A 
I love you to you each day 
                                 E 
But now our eyes are filled with pain 
                                   A 
When something is good why does it change
