Oh yeah [Verse - No drums] [C] Still don't know what I [Em7] was waiting for And my [F] time was running wild [G] A million [F] dead-end streets and [C] Every time I thought I'd [Em7] got it made It seemed the [F] taste was not so sweet [G] So I [Cmaj7] turned my [Dm7] self to face [Em7] me [Ebm7] But [Dm7] I've never caught a glimpse [G] Of how the [Cmaj7] others must [Dm7] see the fa [Em7] ker [Ebm7] I'm much too [Dm7] fast to take that test
[Chorus] (F bit all play straight 1 bar - drops 1 bar in feel) [G] Ch-ch-ch- [F] ch-Changes (drums in) [C] Turn and [C/B] face the strange [C/A] Ch-ch-Cha [C/G] nge (Just play these straight - turns beat around) [F] Don't [F/E] want to be a richer [D] man [G] Ch-ch-ch- [F] ch-Changes [C] Turn and [C/B] face the strange [C/A] Ch-ch-Cha [C/G] nge [F] It's [F/E] gonna have to be a [D] different man [F/A] Time [C/G] may [Bb] change [F] me (drum fill) But [C/E] I [G/D] can't [F/A] trace [C] time

[Chorus] [G] Ch-ch-ch- [F] ch-Changes [C] Turn and [C/B] face the strange [C/A] Ch-ch-Cha [C/G] nge [F] Don't tell them [F/E] to blow up a [D] parliament [G] Ch-ch-ch- [F] ch-Changes [C] Turn and [C/B] face the strange [C/A] Ch-ch-Cha [C/G] nge [F] Where's your shame [F/E] you've left us up to our [D] neck in it [F/A] Time [C/G] may [Bb] change [F] me (drum fill) But [C/E] you [G/D] can't [F/A] trace [C] time
