That Doesn't Change Anything

about

This one is written very much in the style of James but with an interjection of George Harrison in the middle-eight.

I always try to tell myself that bad things don't last forever and something better will come along. What else can you do?

lyrics

That Doesn’t Change Anything
========================
If the world goes sour and your friends give the freeze,
The bottom falls out from the things you believe,
If you’ve lost your way and you’re starting to grieve,

Oh no, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s something better coming after,
There’s something better coming after,
No, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s always something coming after.

If each day just grinds and you can’t see the end,
And it saps at your mind, drives you round the bend,
And there’s no one left on whom you can depend

Oh no, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s something better coming after,
There’s something better coming after,
No, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s always something coming after.

Locked inside, tucked on the shelves,
People only see themselves,
And seldom look beyond their little worlds,
A point of view won’t set you free,
Unless it sees beyond the “me”,
Beyond the far horizon,
Possibilities unfurl.

If the sun won’t shine and the days are all grey,
You can’t see an end that will get you away,
And you just want a friend, you need someone to say,

Oh no, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s something better coming after,
There’s something better coming after,
No, no, no,
That doesn’t change anything,
There’s always something coming after.
And there’s always something coming after,
There’s always something coming after,
There’s always something coming after,
(It’s never a complete disaster)
