[Intro]
Bm  Bm
[Verse 1]
   BmI said I’m gonna spend my time aDlone
Cause it ain’t worth Gtrying to find that Dlover’s soulF#  
   BmI said it’s better searching in myDself
Cause I couldn’t give awGay my love,
Or spend my time with Gmanybody else
But oh, someAtimes I believe I can A7make the change,
   F#Oh Lord, are you F#7feeling the same way
[Verse 2]
   BmI said I better change my sinking Dthoughts
Before they pull me Gunder to drown out Deverything I’ve gotF#  
   BmAnd yet I find comfort in desDpair
Cause I’ve wallowed in it Gfar too long, when things go wrong
It Gmfeels good not to care
And oh, someAtimes I believe I can A7make the change
   F#Good God, are you F#7feeling the same way
[Chorus]
   DCause I would do it for hAer, if she’d do it for Bmme
If this is wGhere we oAught to Dbe
I am only a mAan, my sins of pBmride
are swallowed dGown here F#by your sBmide
[Verse 3]
Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn hDeart
But I feel like dGying, and I know I’m Donly at the startF#  
   BmAnd as the days go passing bDy
Well that window beGgins to close, and so it shows
When mGmonths turn into years, well I try
And Aoh, I believe I can A7make the change
   F#Good God, are you F#7feeling the same way
[Final Chorus]
   DI would do it for hAer, if she’d do it for mBme
If this is wGhere we Aought to Dbe
I am only a mAan, my sins of pBmride
are swallowed dGown here Aby your Dside
If all should Afail, so often dBmoes
Of lack of pGassion and Alack of tDrust
But I would do it for Aher if she’d do it for Bmme
If this is wGhere we F#ought to Bmbe.

[Intro]

Bm Bm

[Verse 1]

Bm D

I said I’m gonna spend my time alone

Cause it ain’t worth trying to find that lover’s soul

Bm D

I said it’s better searching in myself

Cause I couldn’t give away my love,

Or spend my time with anybody else

A A7

But oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change,

F# F#7

Oh Lord, are you feeling the same way

[Verse 2]

Bm D

I said I better change my sinking thoughts

G D F#

Before they pull me under to drown out everything I’ve got

Bm D

And yet I find comfort in despair

Cause I’ve wallowed in it far too long, when things go wrong

It feels good not to care

A A7

And oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change

F# F#7

Good God, are you feeling the same way

[Chorus]

D A Bm

Cause I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

G A D

If this is where we ought to be

A Bm

I am only a man, my sins of pride

G F# Bm

are swallowed down here by your side

[Verse 3]

Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn heart

G D F#

But I feel like dying, and I know I’m only at the start

Bm D

And as the days go passing by

Well that window begins to close, and so it shows

When months turn into years, well I try

A A7

And oh, I believe I can make the change

F# F#7

Good God, are you feeling the same way

[Final Chorus]

D A Bm

I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

G A D

If this is where we ought to be

A Bm

I am only a man, my sins of pride

G A D

are swallowed down here by your side

A Bm

If all should fail, so often does

G A D

Of lack of passion and lack of trust

A Bm

But I would do it for her if she’d do it for me

G F# Bm

If this is where we ought to be.
