The Future Aint What It Used To Be Chords & Lyrics - Meat Loaf

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: [G] [C] [G] [C] [Cm]

I never [G]knew so many bad times
Could [Bb]follow me so mercilessly
It's so surreal, all the [F]pain that I feel
The future [C]ain't what it [Eb]used to [G]be

It doesn't matter what they're thinking
It doesn't [Bb]matter what they're thinking of me
It's always so cold and I'm too [F]young to be old
The future [C]ain't what it [Eb]used to [G]be

[C]Ooh, were there ever any [G]stars in the sky?
And did the [D]sun ever shine so [G]bright?
[C]Ooh, do you have any [G]dreams I can borrow
Just to [D]get me through the lonely [G]nights?

[Bb]Is there anything l[F]eft to hold on to
When the [C]rivers wash it all [G]away? (wash it all a[Bb]way)
Is there anyone [F]left to hold on to?
Is there [C]anything left I can [D]sa[C]y_[Bm]____? [Am] [G]

Say a prayer for the [Em]fallen angels [C]
Stem the tide of the [Am]rising waters [G]
Toll a bell for the [Em]broken hearted [C]
Burn a torch for your [Am]sons and daughters

The [G]endless night has [Em]got a hold of me
[C]Dark days are [Am]pulling me forward
And [G]all these years are [Em]washing over me
And [C]I'm crying - I'm [Am]lost forever
In a [G]future that ain't what it used to be
A [C]future that ain't what it used to be
A [G]future N.C.
that ain't what it used to be - no [G]more
(no more, no more, no more) no [C]more

It's like a [G]storm that's never ending
It's like a [Bb]shadow on the land and the sea
There's nothing as sad as a to[F]morrow gone bad
The future [C]ain't what it [Eb]used to [G]be, come on

Some days I [G]feel so numb and empty
And [Bb]those would be the good days for me
Nothing gets to me now, unless I'm [F]thinking of how
The future [C]ain't what it [Eb]used to [G]be

[C]Ooh, were there ever any [G]stars in the sky?
And did the [D]sun ever shine so [G]bright?
[C]Ooh, do you have any [G]dreams I can borrow
Just to [D]get me through the lonely [G]nights?

[Bb]Is there anything l[F]eft to hold on to
When the [C]rivers wash it all [G]away? (wash it all a[Bb]way)
Is there anyone [F]left to hold on to?
Is there [C]anything left I can [D]sa[C]y_[Bm]____? [Am] [G]

Say a prayer for the [Em]fallen angels [C]
Stem the tide of the [Am]rising waters [G]
Toll a bell for the [Em]broken hearted [C]
Burn a torch for your [Am]sons and daughters

The [G]endless night has [Em]got a hold of me
[C]Dark days are [Am]pulling me forward [G]
And all these years are [Em]washing over me
And [C]I'm crying - I'm [Am]lost forever
In a [G]future that ain't what it used to be
A [C]future that ain't what it used to be
A [G]future N.C.
that ain't what it used to be - no [G]more
(no more, no more, no more no [C]more, oooh)
No [G]more (no more, no more, no more, no more)
No more, no more, no more, no [C]more [Am] [G] [D] [Eb] [Dm] [G] [C]

The [G]future just ain't what it used to [C]be [G]
The future just ain't what it used to [C]be [G]
The future just ain't what it used to [C]be [G]
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to [C]be
(The future just ain't what it used to be no [G]more)
Oh, the future just ain't what it used to [C]be
(The future just ain't what it used to be no [G]more)
Hmmm, the future just ain't what it used to [C]be
(Aaah, the future, the future, the future, the [G]future)
Oh, the future, the future, the future just ain't what it used to [C]be
(the future just ain't what it used to [G]be)
Oh, future just ain't what it used to [C]be
Aaaaah, the future just ain't what it used to [C]be [G]

The future...

I [C]wish it wouldn't come

I wish it wouldn't come
I wish it wouldn't come, but it always [G]does
