(notes: D D F F# A A B A)
F
x2
C Em7/B
I Still don't know what I was waiting for
F/A G
And my time was running wild,
F
A million dead-end streets.
C Em7/B
And every time I thought I'd got it made
F/A G
It seems the taste was not so sweet,
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
So I turned my self to face me
Dm7 G7
But I've never caught a glimpse
Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
Of how the others must see the faker
Dm7
I'm much too fast to take that test
G G7 C Em/B Am
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange.
C/G F C/E D
Ch-ch-changes, don't wanna be a richer man,
G G7 C Em/B Am
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange.
C/G F C/E D
Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man
F/A C/G Bb F Fmaj7 C/E Dm7 C
Time may change me -- but I can't trace time
-- oh yeah --
(Notes: D D F F# A A B A)
F
x2
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence.
And so the days flow through my eyes
But the days still seem the same.
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame,
you've left us up yo our neck in it.
Time may change me, but you can't trace time.
Strange fascination fascinating me.
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going through.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older.
Time may change me, But I can't trace time.
