F C
Em
Still don't know what I was looking for
F G
And my time was running wild
F C
A million dead end streets and
Em
Every time I thought I'd got it made
F G
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
So I turned myself to face me
Dm7 G7
But I've never caught a glimpse
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
Of how the others must see the faker
Dm7 G7
I'm much to fast to take that test
F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
C Em Am C F
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
Am D G7 F
Don't wanna be a richer man (ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
C Em Am C F
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
Am D
Just gonna have to be a different man
Am G Bb F
Time may change me
Am G C
But I can't trace time
#Back to intro riff, but start on the D and play twice
C Em
I watched the ripples change their size
F G F C
But never leave the stream of warm imperminance and
Em
So the days flow through my eyes
F G
But still the days seem the same
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
And these children that you spit on as they
Dm7 G7
Try to change their world
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7
Are imune to your consultations
Dm7 G7
They're quite aware of what they're going through
F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
C Em Am C F
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
Am D G7 F
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it (ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
C Em Am C
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
F Am D
Where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it
Am G Bb F
Time may change me
Am G C F C
But I can't trace time
#Interlude

Strange fascination fascinating me
F G G7
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
C Em Am C F
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
Am D G7 F
Oh look out you rock'n'rollers (ch-ch-ch-ch-changes)
C Em Am C F
Turn and face the stranger (ch-ch-ch-changes)
Am D
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Am G Bb F
Time may change me
Am G C
But I can't trace time
Am G Bb F
I said that time may change me
Am G C
But I can't trace time
