Just need [G] to say that I'm a bad guy
[D] And maybe right, and [Gm] maybe wrong
[G] But it's not as if I don't [Bb] try
I just [D] mess up, and I go wrong
[C] But I can change, I can change
I can learn to [G] keep my promises, I swear it
[Bb] Open up my heart and I will dare it
[A] Any minute now, I [D] swear I'll share it
Oh, [C] it's strange, yes it's strange

There'll always be a God [Bb] with me
Yes, but don't be such a fool
Man up [A] from heaven, she'll be my food
My acts of [Ab] hassle are misconstrued
And [Bb] God above will watch me change
And [A] while I'm changing, [Ab] I'll be changing
I'm [G] gonna change
