[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
I'm much too fast to take that test

[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]
     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                               G
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
They're quite aware of what they're 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]
     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   [4/4]
     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   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
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    Dm     Em
But I can't trace time

[Ending]

                    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

Dm7    Em7    Eb7    Dm7    Dbmaj7    Cmaj7
