[Intro]
[4/4]
Cmaj7 Db6 Dm7 Eb7 F7 D F7 D F7
Oh yeah
[Verse]
C Em7
Still don't know what I was waiting for
F
And my time was running wild
G F
A million dead-end streets and
C Em7
Every time I thought I'd got it made
F G
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
So I turned myself to face me
Dm7 G
But I've never caught a glimpse
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
Of how the others must see the faker
Dm7 G
I'm much too fast to take that test
[Chorus]
G7 F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
F F/E [2/4] D [4/4]
Don't want to be a richer man
G F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
F F/E [2/4] D
It's gonna have to be a different man
[3/4] F/A C/G Bb F
Time may change me
C/E G/D F/A C [4/4]
But I can't trace time
[Verse]
C Em7
I watch the ripples change their size
F G F
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence
C Em7
And so the days float through my eyes
F G7
But still the days seem the same
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
And these children that you spit on
Dm7 G
As they try to change their worlds
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
Are immune to your consultations
Dm7 G
They're quite aware of what they're going through
[Chorus]
(G7) F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
F F/E [2/4] D [4/4]
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
G F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
F F/E [2/4] D
You've left us up to our necks in it
[3/4] F/A C/G Bb F
Time may change me
C/E G/D F/A C Dm Em
But you can't trace time
[Bridge]
F C F/C C
Strange fascination, fascinating me
F G
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
[Chorus]
(G) F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
F F/E [2/4] D [4/4]
Look out you rock'n'rollers
G F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A C/G
Ch-ch-Changes
F F/E [2/4] D [4/4]
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
[3/4] F/A C/G Bb F
Time may change me
C/E G/D F/A C
But you can't trace time
F/A C/G Bb F
I said that time may change me
C/E G/D F/A C
But I can't trace time
[Outro]
