I have had some more requests for older Soul Asylum. The album version of

this song does not do it justice. It is an incredible song live and there is

a live version on the b-side of the "Runaway Train" single. We used to play

this acoustic, but a 'full' band version is also great. Again,

questions/comment/requests email me at: TJGriffey@aol.com.

Band: Soul Asylum

Song: Never Really Been

Verse 1:

D C C D

Sirens are a screaming, shots rang out at night

D C# B G A Asus4

Movie cameras rollin' in....

And there goes my hero, with his head between his legs

And all this time I believed in him....

Bridge (same as intro)

Verse 2:

Now what is the sound of snow falling down

On a tombstone in the dead of night

And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound

Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight

G A

And where will you be in 1993?

D C# B G A Asus4

Still sitting in the same chair

Sitting is for sinners and I'm just a beginner

And I've never really been much else

Bridge

Verse 3:

Hey ain't it strange how something's never change

Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same

You were thinking I was distressed about some universal press

I was just impressed about my last pinball game

Bridge

I've learned to accept and to expect

The respect and neglect that I get

And I try not to forget about what hasn't happened yet

And on this I place my last bet

G A

And did you get what you give? Did you get what you give?

D C# B G A Asus4

But your best shall wear and tell

Winning is for winners and I know 'Luck Street' follows winners

But I've never really been much else

G A

You know it's harder to be nice, when hate becomes your vice

D C# B G A Asus4

And you can't find peace anywhere

Love is not just for lover's, get off your high horse brother

Drop your fists and get out of here
