This song is from BNL's 2006 album, "Barenaked Ladies Are Me". Pretty simple
stuff. This song sounds awesome on a Banjitar, but it sounds good on the acoustic guitar as well.

[Intro]
[Em]
[Verse 1]
[(Em)]On the path of [D]life, I wish you [Em]well
[Am] Divergent j[D]ourneys, but [G]we will meet ag[E7]ain in Hell
[Am] I kept my h[D]ead down and moved o[Em]n
[Am] Til every f[D]riend I'd known was g[Em]one
[Chorus]
[Am]Then, one d[D]ay, [D#dim7]I was not al[Em]one
Everything ha[Am]d changed, everything w[Em]as strange
Everything ha[Am]d changed, everything w[Em]as strange
[Verse 2]
When in rags and when in wealth
A solemn promise never to give too much of myself
Despite the hopeful things I've said
I've lived my life inside my head
[Chorus]
Then, one day, I was not alone
Everything had changed, everything was strange
Everything had changed, everything was strange
[Bridge]
[A]I hold my [Asus2/F#]breath and count to [Asus2]ten
I hate it [F#]now; hated it [Bm]then
I've seen it all [Bm/A]before
A failure and a [Bm]bore
But [Bm/A]that's what friends are [E]for
[Instrumental]
Em, D, Em
Am, D, G, E7
Am, D, Em
[Verse 3]
So it seems I must have won
As I survey the ashes of the damage that I've done
Everyone I've ever known
Is just as closed off and alone
[Chorus]
Then, one day, I was not alone
Everything had changed, everything was strange
Everything had changed, everything was strange
Everything had [Am7]chan[Am7(2)]ged, [Am7(3)] [Am7(4)]everyth[Am7(5)]ing was[Am7(4)] strang[Am7(3)]e
E[Am7(2)]verything had [Am7]chang[Am7(2)]ed, [Am7(3)] [Am7(4)]everythi[Em]ng
[End on Em]
