[Verse 1]
I didn't even Ftry to standC  G  
My world was on fFire now
And there was notChing i Gcould doF  
TheCre was nothing GI could sayF  C  G  
To persuade the wrongs to Fright themselvesC  G  
I was swinging hard nFow
Just upon the eCdge of Gvirtue
Move baFck again, Cmove GbackF  C  G  
[Pre-Chorus]
I was in a real dFire statCe
GI was in the most awkward Fof waysC  
With my Ghead against the earth
I tFried just to find pCeace of a mGind undoneF  
A Cmind undoGne
[Chorus]
And now I'm mGoving witAmh a quiet FeaseAm  
Something inside me is Gchanging
It's Gstirring up the Amlife in Fme, oh babyG  
Cause there's Gonly so much Amweight you can beaFr alright
When you're Cwalking on iceG  
Now I'm GdoinAmg it all Fwrong but it feels so right
[Verse 2]
It's a sCober sight
Your knuckles Fbared and whitCe
It's tGhe flicker on the front line from the caFndle brightC  
It's the Gappetite
You Fgotta suck on lightC  
Stand Gyour groundF  C  
So suGe me I had Fa change of heartC  G  
I used to think that I Fcould justify tChe waste of time it's Fonly mine
But I'm yet to find a vivid life wiGthout it
[Chorus]
Now I'm Gmoving through a Amlighter breFezeAm  
Something inside me is Gchanging
It's Gstrange Amhow all the colours bleeFd, oh babyG  
As a Grolling stone cAman pick Gup some pace alFright
With the Cmountains this highG  
Now I'm Amdoing it all Fwrong but it Gfeels so right

F   C   G
[Chorus]
Now I'm moving with a Fquiet easeC  G  
Something inside me is cFhangingC  G

And now I'm moving through a ligFhter breezeC  G  
Something inside me is chanFgingC  G  
It's strange how all the coFlours bleedC  G  
Oh bFabyC  G

'Cause I was in a real dFire stateC  G  
I was in the most awkward of waFysC  G  
And with my hFead against the Cearth
