DAnything's hard to Gchange 
But hey I got you Ddown on your knees Gagain
You watch the Emsky 
It's a pale parCade of passing Gclouds 
That cover the Dbed upon which we Glaid in the dark 
And the Dmemories that I Gmade 
Of a laughing Emgirl
But you're just my Ctoy 
And I can't stop Gplaying with you Dbaby 
If you Gthink you need to Cgo 
If you Gwanted to be Cfree 
There's just one Gthing you need to Amknow 
And that's that Emyou can't Dcount on Gme 
I'm Dcoming along real Ggood 
But I still can't do Dmost of the things I Gshould 
I watch the Emsky coming Cdown to bury Gme... 
And I can't stop this Dcrawling out of my Gskin 
I know that you Dsee yourself flying Gin 
Out of the Emsky 
Coming Cdown 
To carry Gme but I won't come Dout 
So if you Gthink you need to Cgo

There's one Gthing you need to Amknow 
And that's that Emyou can't Dcount on Gme..C..

As they pass on the Ddays that you wish you'd Gstayed 
But all this Empain
Gets me Chigh 
And I get Goff and you know Dwhy 
So if you Gthink you need to Cgo 
If you Gwanted to be Cfree 
There's one Gthing you need to Amknow 
And that's that Emyou can't Dcount on Gme 
So if you Gthink you need to Cgo 
If you Gwanted to be Cfree

Anything's hard to change

D G

But hey I got you down on your knees again

You watch the sky

C G

It's a pale parade of passing clouds

D G

That cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark

D G

And the memories that I made

Of a laughing girl

But you're just my toy

G D

And I can't stop playing with you baby

G C

If you think you need to go

G C

If you wanted to be free

G Am

There's just one thing you need to know

Em D G

And that's that you can't count on me

D G

I'm coming along real good

D G

But I still can't do most of the things I should

Em C G

I watch the sky coming down to bury me...

D G

And I can't stop this crawling out of my skin

D G

I know that you see yourself flying in

Out of the sky

Coming down

G D

To carry me but I won't come out

G C

So if you think you need to go

G C

If you wanted to be free

G Am

There's one thing you need to know
