          Still don't know what I was waiting for
                       F                          G           F
          And my time was running wild - a million dead-end streets, and
          Every time I thought I'd got it made
          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
                    Of how the others must see the faker
                    I'm much too fast to take that test

                                                    G7           C            C/B        Am
                               Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                                          G           F                     Em                      Dm  G
                               Ch-ch-changes - don't want to be a richer man
                                                    F             C            C/B        Am
                               Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                                          G           F                              Em                        Dm
                               Ch-ch-changes - just gonna have to be a different man

                                           Am   G      Bb        F        Am G     Dm    C
                                           Time may change me, but I  can't trace time
                                                                                                         D add3 add6  F (x2)

          I watch the ripples change their size
          But never leave the stream of warm impermanence, and
          So the days float through my eyes
          But still the days seem the same

                    And these children that 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-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                              Ch-ch-changes - don't tell them to grow up and out of it
                              Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                              Ch-ch-changes - where's your shame
                                you've left us up to our necks in it

                                           Time may change me, but I can't trace time
                                                                                                                     Dm Em

                                                       F                                       C              F C
                                                       Strange fascination, fascinating me
                                                             F                                    G                       G7
                                                       Ah, changes are taking the pace I'm going through

                              Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                              Ch-ch-changes - oh, look out you rock n rollers
                              Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - turn and face the strain
                              Ch-ch-changes - pretty soon now
                                you're gonna get a little older

                                   Time may change me, but I can't trace time
                                   I said that time may change me, but I can't trace time...

                                                                                Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Ebm7 Dm7 Db C
