With my Ahead in the sky and the C#mworld going by
  DEvery nowhere Etown
As I F#mwrite one more letter to Eyou
Lord I Bmcan't change the things that I Ddo
[Chorus]
AOne day, when you disEcover
E/        F                      F#m  D

It's time for a Dchange, what else can I Ado
With the Aclock ticking time better C#mmake up my mind
  DIs it me or is it Eyou
And toF#mnight as I'm losing conEtrol
I will Bmdrink to the queen of my Dsoul
