Em      C/G     G
 
Em            C/G               G
This pavement feels cold on my face
      Em           C/G           G
And my bones have seen better days 
    Em        C/G                  G
Be a friend, pick me up off the ground 
     Em     C/G        G
Nice and easy, oooh
          Em      C/G              G
I got a scar, you can see it from afar
              Em             C/G         G
Like cigarette burns on the top of my guitar
             Em               C/G              G
If you wish me luck, don't tell me to break a leg
     Em           C/G      G
I coulda been walking on a peg 
          D                       C                      G
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes
            D                       C                        G
Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break 
 
Em            C/G               G
I got a girl, she got lots of style
                    Em          C/G              G
You can see every tooth in her mouth when she smiles 
                    Em        C/G        G
She's prettier than you, and you, and you 
                      Em       C/G      G
Yeah, she's prettier than you 
         Em        C/G                G
I got a dream, I hope that it comes true 
            Em            C/G               G
And if it don't, don't know what I'm gonna do 
  Em     C/G     G        Em      C/G        G
I got a dream,       I got a dream 
 
          D                       C                      G
And at the end of the day I will return to the city of lakes 
            D                       C                          G
Where the real people roam close to where all the real waves break 
 
          Em         C/G      G
I lost a friend in this past year 
          Em       C/G          G
I miss his guitar playing in my ear 
         Em       C/G            G
Be a friend, take away all my fears 
 Em      C/G     G            Em   C/G  G  Em  C/G   G
Nice and easy,          nice and easy, nice and easy

Question, if you listen to the album version of this song, there seems to be a subtle change of chords or chord variations in two places - after the last verse when it goes into the chorus at 3:26 "of the day I will return to the city" the C chord seems to be different... then again at 4:00 "people roam close to where all the real" the C chord seems to also be different... i can't put my finger on what is happening here... can anyone else?
