GI was never one to back out of an arG7gument and say I was wrCong.
AmEven when I'd seen the other side I'd hiDde my foolishness Gand Cadd9carry on.Dsus4  
GBut still I'd be embarrassed 'cos they'd G7see what happened and thCey'd play along.
AmUntil I back myself into a corner I wDould only realize wheGn theCadd9y had goDsus4ne.
CHORUS
And like a drBbeam, a liFfe, a reBbason,F7

(Everything, everything. Everything must chaGnge.)
GIn the same way when we disagree I wG7ouldn't be the one to back dCown.
Still I'd knAmow that you had faith in me. TDell me somethinGg, am Cadd9I lettinDsus4g you down?
G'Cos when I woke up and I saw the nG7ote you pressed into the mirror fCrame
Ambut it was easy to be angry at ya but deDep inside I know Gwe shCadd9are the bDsus4lame.

When I'm scared of Ambeing wrong again,
Dwon't you be the one I turn to

GPlease, let me be right for once 
G7'cos right now all I feel I do is wrCong

CHORUS
(Repeat and Ad-Lib Soulful Glib as necessary)   ;)
So this evening I went to find the chords to a few Paul Young songs (this included) and
discovered (to my shock) that NO ONE out there seemed to have them! Hey man, it's PAUL
YOUNG! This is my very first attempt at 'coding' a complete song. I think I got most of
these right but that F7th up there is suspect. If you've got a better idea let me or
someone else know, otherwise I think this is a pretty close interpretation of the song.
Listen to the original for tempo and timing (not for timbre as it is very synthy).

Everything Must Change

By Paul Young

From: "The Secret of Association", 1984

G Cadd9 Dsus4

G G7 C

I was never one to back out of an argument and say I was wrong.

Am D G Cadd9 Dsus4

Even when I'd seen the other side I'd hide my foolishness and carry on.

G G7 C

But still I'd be embarrassed 'cos they'd see what happened and they'd play along.

Am D G Cadd9 Dsus4

Until I back myself into a corner I would only realize when they had gone.

CHORUS

Bb F Bb F7

And like a dream, a life, a reason,

Everything must change...

(Everything, everything. Everything must change)

Bb F Bb F7

And like a world, this earth and seasons

Everything must change...

(Everything, everything. Everything must change.)

G G7 C

In the same way when we disagree I wouldn't be the one to back down.

Am D G Cadd9 Dsus4

Still I'd know that you had faith in me. Tell me something, am I letting you down?

G G7 C

'Cos when I woke up and I saw the note you pressed into the mirror frame

Am D G Cadd9 Dsus4

but it was easy to be angry at ya but deep inside I know we share the blame.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

I'm going back to the top to start myself off

G7 C

but first of all somethings I need to know.

When I'm scared of being wrong again,

won't you be the one I turn to

G Cadd9 Dsus4

to let me know, oh, let me know, oh.

Please, let me be right for once

G7 C

'cos right now all I feel I do is wrong

and it's never too late to learn about love

and this victim needs your hand...

G Cadd9 Dsus4

to hold on.

CHORUS

(Repeat and Ad-Lib Soulful Glib as necessary) ;)
