Tom: C#m
E C#m
I can remember those days as a child
E B
when life was a treasure filled with wonder and joy.
A E C#m
The simplest of things were filled with such pleasure
F#7 B
and love was a virtue time could not destroy.
E C#m
Oh, I still need these things to believe in
E B
to protect my heart from the rain.
A A#dim
Something′s gone wrong.
E C#7
Oh, the old feeling is gone.
[Chorus]
F#7 B7 E
Lord, I need a change;
A A#dim E E7
A change in the way I'm living;
A Am E E7
A different way to deal;
A A#dim E C#7
A change in the way I perceive this old world.
F#7 B E B
Oh, I need something that′s real.

E C#m
These days I wonder, what's become of that boy?
E B
I know he has traveled on many dark roads.
A A#dim E C#7
How can a soul wipe clean of the sorrow?
F#7 B
And how can a heart unburden that load?
E C#m
I still need these things to believe in
E B
that protect my heart from the rain.
A A#dim
Oh, but something's gone wrong.
E C#7
The feeling is gone,
[Chorus]
F#7 B7 E
And, oh, Lord, I need a change.
A A#dim E E7
I need a change in the way that I′m living;
A Am E
A different way to deal;
A A#dim E C#7
A change in the way I perceive this old world.
F#7 B7 E C#
Oh, I need something that′s real.
[Ending]
A B E
Oh, Lord, I need something to feel,
A Am E B7 E E7 E
Oh, something to feel.
