In every possible way
Things seem different today

Verse
C#m  B  A
When you're secure, do you feel much safer?
As days never change, and it's three years later
It's like your life hasn't changed,
And it's three years late, so how does it feel, to be 
three years late? And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems 
different today and what seems different, seems 
different today

Pre-Chorus
A   C#m  B
Is consideration
A   C#m  B
More like an exception
A   C#m  B
of consideration?
A   C#m  B
