[Intro] 
D, Em, G,  C*
                 D     Em*         
Maybe it's a mind thing,
                G     C*
Maybe I'm a lost cause,
               D     Em*
Either way I'm tired,
                      G     C*
Gotta gather up a life lost.
I Dtell myself I'm Emokay,
To Gkeep myself from Ccrying,
DHow am I to make a Emchange,
GIf I'm never Ctrying?
[Chorus] x2
             D                     Em*
  If my world will never be the same,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
              D                  Em*
  Make a start forever in the pain,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
[Verse 2]
DSwimmin' in an Emocean,
GTrying just to Emfind out,
DHatin what I'm Emknownin,
GAnd knowin' Cwhat I'm all about.
DIf only I could change Emthis,
GIf only this could Cchange me,
DThen I will be Emnew man,
GBack to when I Cbelieved.
[Chorus] x2
             D                     Em*
  If my world will never be the same,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
              D                  Em*
  Make a start forever in the pain,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
[Bridge]
AmI walked away
GBut I'm crawling back,
CSaid I'm coming full circle.
AmIt took some time,
GSo many years,
CBut I'm coming full circle.
AmI wanna be free,
GBut talk is cheap,
CSaid I'm coming full circle.
AmThe blame is me
GAnd now I see
 C(strum once)
That I ran,
I pushed away
But You, You, You stuck right by my side,
I'm changing.
[x3:]
             D                     Em*
  If my world will never be the same,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
              D                  Em*
  Make a start forever in the pain,
              G                      C*
  Maybe one of these days I'll change.
