The keyboard has been arranged for guitar on the 2nd staff,
notes on A string are 8va bassa.  The bass sound is likely
a Moog Taurus Pedal sound (sawtooth wave with a rapid closing
filter).  The right hand melody sounds like a Mini-Moog
(a sawtooth wave with a somewhat rapid attack but with the
filter open relatively wide to achieve a string-like sound).
On the promo video Geddy plays both parts with the same
sound on a Mini-Moog.  It is clear that the bass sound
on the promo-video deviates from the original studio
recording.

version 2









Intro: Am Bm Am  G D G D  x2


Verse 1:

  B                 G
A boy alone, and so far from home
D       A   D    A    F#
Endless rooftops from my window
I felt the gloom of empty rooms
On rainy afternoons


Prechorus 1:

G                 B
Sometimes, in confusion
          C           A  
I felt so lost and disillusioned
D                 D#
Innocence gave me confidence
      E                   C G
To go up against reality


Chorus:

Am  
All the same
            Bm  Am
We take our chances
G             D
Laughed at by time
C                 G
Tricked by circumstances
       Am
Plus a change
              Bm   Am
Plus c'est la meme chose
  G                   D
The more that things change
    C                  Am    Bm Am G D G D
The more they stay the same

Verse 2:

Now I've gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality

Prechorus 2:

These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me
Just one more whos searching for
A world that ought to be

Chorus
