[Verse 1]
               C                
               I Still dont know 
            Em
what i was waiting for
                            F      
                     And my time 
          G
was running wild,
                      A million 
F
dead-end streets.
              C                
               And every time i 
             Em
thought i'd got it made
                               F   
                  It seems the 
             G7
taste was not so sweet,
                         Cmaj7     
                    So i turned my 
Dm7     Em7  Ebm7
self to face me
                        Dm7        
                    But I've never 
         G7
caught a glimpse
                            C      
                 Of how the others 
     Dm7     Em7 Ebm7
must see the fa- ker
                               Dm7 
                  I'm much too fast
              G7
 to take that test

              Ch-ch-ch-changes, 
   F/E       D      G

         Am7/G   F        Am     
       Ch-ch-ch-changes   It's 
                 D

              Am   G   Bb9        
              Time may change     
F         Am G    G11   C

[Verse 2]
               C                   
                 I watch the 
  Em
ripples change their size
                            F   
                       But never 
             G
leave the stream
                         Of warm 
   F
impermanence.
                       C           
                   And so the days 
     Em
flow thru my eyes
                   But still the 
 F                   G7
days still seem the same.
                     And these 
Cmaj7    Dm7      Em7  Ebm7
children that you spit on
                        Dm7      
                   As they try to 
                  G7
change their worlds,
                         C       
                   Are immune to 
Dm7        Em7 Ebm7
your consulta -tions.
                               Dm7 
            They're quite aware of 
              G7
what they're going thru.

[Chorus 2]
                     F          C 
              Ch-ch-ch-changes, 
       C/E      Am7
turn and face the strange
                    Am7/G      F  
      Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell
         F/E         D       G
 them to grow up and out of it.
            G7         F        C
              Ch-ch-ch-changes, 
        C/E       Am7
turn and face the strange
            Am7/G         F       
                 Ch-ch-ch-changes,
    F/E
 there's your shame,
                  you've left us up 
       D
yo our neck in it.
              Am   G   Bb9   F  
             Time may change me,
     Am   G    G11   C
 but you can't trace time.
