| E | G# | A | E |
I could ask another question, like I never seen before.
| G# | A | B
Wait for an answer, same familiar ring.
| E | G# | A | E | |
I could swear and I could holler, same way I done before,
B7 | E | |
But you won't change a thing.
| E | G# | A | E |
I could hope to see some changes, like I never seen before.
| G# | A | B
Wait for the changes and put up with suffering
| E | G# | A | E | |
I could swear and I could holler, same way I done before,
B7 | E | |
But you won't change a thing.
A | | E | |
No, you won't change a thing, that isn't in you.
| | B |
How you go about leaves me wondering,
| E | G# | A | E | |
I could swear and I could holler, same way I done before,
B7 | E | |
But you won't change a thing.

It Doesn't Sound Like You

B | A | E | |
| A | E | |
I thought you'd call me back, that's what I was counting on.
| A | E | |
So I could hear your voice and listen to its sound.
B | A | B | A
I can read your message. That's what I'll do,
| E | | ' | A | E | |
But it doesn't sound like you.
B | A | E | |
Though I can read your message. It doesn't sound like you.
| A | E | |
I know you're hurt, as I watch your spirits drown.
| A | E | |
One more round of drinks and you're fallen down.
B | A | B | A
I could let it pass just like you tell me to,
| E | |
But it doesn't sound like you.
C#m | A | C#m | A |
And you don't show your eyes. They hide behind a veil.
G#7 | A7 | B | |
And you don't take my hand the way you used to.
C#m | A | C#m | A |
And you don't raise your voice when you mumble back a line,
G#7 | A7 | B | |
And I listen close, it doesn't sound like you.
E | A | E | |
I could walk away if you want me to.
B | A | B | A
No matter what you say, whenever you act this way
| E | |
It doesn't sound like you.
B | A | E | A | E
Not when you act this way, it doesn't sound like you.

D A
If you want it, you can have it,
D G
But you could never keep it.
D A D | A
Nothing there for keeping if you do.

| A | Amaj7 | | D
Hard to imagine when you're flying, you can't be flying.
| A | E | A | E
You can't be flying with your feet on the ground.
| A | Amaj7 | | D
And its amazing when you're drowning, you're not really drowning,
| A | E | A | |
'Cuz you're breathing when you can still hear the sound.
E | | Amaj7 | |
And you might hear a voice. It could sing to you
D | | E |
As though you're not alone when you clearly are.
| A | Amaj7 | | D
In the distance, its hard to focus. You don't really focus
| A | E | A | |
on the distance when you don't see that far.
E | | Amaj7 | |
And you might lose your way, or it might lose you.
D | | E |
Maybe call it back, or keep the change.
| A | Amaj7 | | D
I remember a different person. You were that person.
| A | E | A | |
Now you're different, so its hard to explain.
A | Amaj7 | | D
| A | E | A | E
You can't be flying with your feet on the ground.
| A | Amaj7 | | D
And its amazing when you're drowning, you're not really drowning,
| A | E | A | D
'Cuz you're breathing when you can still hear the sound.

C | Em | Am
I'm sorry to disturb you. I know you're busy.
| Em7 | F
Its that crazy time of year with all the letters
| G | C | Dm7 G |
Asking favors. I know I sent mine.
C | Em | Am | Em7 |
Forgive the imposition. My amendment. My prior statement,
F | G | C | |
It isn't what I'm asking from you this time.
C | Em | Am
My pockets may be empty, but I'm happy.
| Em7 | F |
So I wouldn't change a thing, though I may wander,
G | C | Dm7 G |
I will never wander far.
C | Em | Am
Every time I need you, you're always with me
| Em7 | F |
So I wouldn't walk away because I'm certain
G | C | |
I know exactly where you are.
Em | F | Am | G |
If you could change it easily, whatever you were sending me,
Em7 | F | G | |
However you were answering, whatever for,
Em | F | Am | G
I prefer to pass it on to those who weren't counting on
| Dm | F G | |
A measure of your grace, to those who need it more.
C | Em | Am
I'm sorry to disturb you. I know you're busy.
| Em7 | F
Its that crazy time of year with all those letters
| G | C | Dm7 G |
Asking favors, but I changed mine.
C | Em | Am
And we can catch up later. I know you'll be there,
| Em7 | F | G | C | |
Where I can find you. And its all that I am asking of you this time.
| F | G | C | Dm7 G | C
And its all that I am asking of you this time.

What I tell you comes for free wouldn't be me.

What happens easily wouldn't be me.

What happens easily wouldn't be me.
Em | | D | |
There are ways to listen while you go on speaking,

And you could swear that you heard with nothing to see
| D | | G | B
It wouldn't be me. What doesn't make sense
| C | A | C | D | G | |
Isn't always done intentionally. Doesn't make sense wouldn't be me.
Em | | D | |
There is perfect vision, but its your decision

You can mount your attack, no guarantee,

Please Send a Child

Bb | C |
F | Am | Bb | C |
I wasn't born a soldier, I wasn't born a teacher.
F | Am | Bb | C |
I wasn't born a carpenter or a mason to build a wall.
Dm | Bb | Dm | C |
The road is wide and open, full of travelers tired and broken.
F | C | F | |
Please send a child to bless them all.
F | Am | Bb | C |
I wasn't born in anger, not that I remember.
F | Am | Bb | C |
I never was the messenger, or the healer, my contribution small.
Dm | Bb | Dm | C |
I answered to the suffering. My efforts led to nothing.
F | C | F | |
Please send a child to bless them all.
Gm | C | F | Bb |
The light is in her eyes. With the whisper of her breathing
Gm | Bb | C | |
Comes the promise of the morning and another turn.
Gm | C | F | Bb |
It comes as no surprise, the answer would be hidden
| Dm | C | |
In the wonders of a child, mild and taciturn.
F | Am | Bb | C |
I wasn't born a thinker. I wasn't born a preacher.
F | Am | Bb | C |
I wasn't born a wanderer, there to ponder my own withdraw.
Dm | Bb | Dm | C |
I make the long endeavor. These days won't last forever.
F | C | F | |
So please send a child to bless us all.
| C | F
Please send a child.

Come the Changes
by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2018
Dm | F | G | |
C | Am | G | F |
If I could sit right next to you. Do the things we used to do.
C | Am | G
It wouldn't last forever, come the changes,
| F | C | Am |
They roll on by like waves until the next time
G | F |
But the changes happen every time,
Dm | F | G | |
And it doesn't leave us any time to stay the same.
Dm | F | G | |
I wouldn't take another try to stay the same.
C | Am | G | F |
The pictures cannot substitute for sitting there right next to you.
C | Am | G
They seem to last forever, come the changes,
| F | C | Am |
They roll on by like waves and leave me wondering
G | F |
How it happened all so suddenly,
Dm | F | G | |
And it wouldn't be what's best for me to stay the same.
Em7 | F | C | G |
I wouldn't change a thing, though the memories leave me wanting
Em7 | F | G | |
The emptiness and haunting, so very strange.
Dm | G | C | F |
It weaves a silent mystery. Were you ever really next to me?
Dm | F | G | |
Or just another memory, come the change.
C | Am | G | F |
Time is like a waterfall never asking was it worth it all
C | Am | G
To wash away forever, come the changes,
| F | C | Am |
They roll on by like waves to cut the valleys,
G | F |
The shallow streams and eddies.
Dm | F | G | |
And it never was our destiny to stay the same.
C | Am | G | F | C
