[Intro]
C#m7   F#m   D
[Verse 1]
C#m7      D/E     D
One hand, reaches out
A           E              D
And pulls a lost soul from harm
E                F#m      Dmaj7
While a thousand more, go unspoken for
         A                           G
They say what good have you done, by saving just this one
[Pre-Chorus]
          Esus         E              Esus      E
It's like whispering a prayer, in the fury of a storm
[Chorus 1]
                Dmaj7                 A
And I hear them saying, you'll never change things
       E                                 D    A
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
                 Dmaj7          F#m    D
But its not the world that I am changing
  A                D          E                      D      A
I do this so, this world will know, that it will not change me
[Verse 2]
C#m7        D/E   D
This heart, still believes
A            E           D
The love and mercy still exist
              E       F#m      Dmaj7
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
     A                             G
That love is all but pointless, in madness such as this
[Pre-Chorus]
           Esus             E               Esus          E
It's like trying to stop a fire, with the moisture from a kiss
[Chorus 1]
                Dmaj7                A
And I hear them saying, you'll never change things
       E                                 D    A
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
                 Dmaj7           F#m   D
But it's not the world that I am changing
  A                D          E                      F#m    D
I do this so, this world will know, that it will not change me
[Bridge]
G          D                     F#m
As long as one heart still holds on
                          E
Then hope is never really gone
[Chorus 2]
                Dmaj7                A
And I hear them saying, you'll never change things
       E                                 D    A
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
                 Dmaj7           F#m    D
But it's not the world that I am changing
  A                D        E           F#m     D
I do this so, this world we know, never changes me
       A              E          E7                     D      D   A   D   A
What I do is so, this world will know, that it will not change me
[Outro]
D   F#m   D
