[Intro]
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [D#] [F] [G] [C] [D]

[Bb]Everything Must Change
[F]♪
[Gm]I was never one to back out [F]of an argument and say I was wrong,
[D#]even when I'd [F]seen the other side
[G]I'd hide my [C]foolishness and carry on
[D]♪
[Bb]But still [F]I'd be embarrassed
[Gm]'cos they'd see what [F]happened and they's play along
[D#]until I back [F]myself into a corner
[G]I would only realise [C]when they had gone
[D]♪
[Bb]And like a dream, [F]a life, a reason,
[Gm]everything must change
[F](Everything, Everything [D#]Must Change)
[F]And like a world, [G]this earth and seasons
[C]everything must change
[D](Everything, Everything [Bb]Must Change)
[F]In the same [Gm]way when we disagree
[F]I woudn't be the [D#]one to back down
[F]Still I'd know that [G]you had faith in me
[C]Tell me something, am [D]I letting you down?
[Bb]'Cos when I [F]woke up and
[Gm]I saw the note you [F]pressed into the mirror frame
[D#]but it was easy [F]to be angry at you
[G]but deep inside I [C]know we share the blame
[D]And like a dream, [Bb]a life, a reason,
[F]everything must change
[Gm](Everything, Everything [F]Must Change)
[D#]And like a world, [F]this earth and seasons,
[G]everything must change
[C](Everything, Everything [D]Must Change)
[Bb]I'm going back to the [F]top to start myself off
[Gm]but first of [F]all somethings I
[D#]need to know
[F]When I'm scared [G]of being wrong again,
[C]won't you be the one [D]I turn to to let
[Bb]me know, oh, [F]let me know, oh
[Gm]Please, let me [F]be right for once
[D#]'cos right now all I [F]feel I do is wrong
[G]and it's never too [C]late to learn about love
[D]and this victim [Bb]needs your hand
[F]to hold on
[Gm]♪
[F]And like a dream, [D#]a life, a reason,
[F]everything must change
[G](Everything, Everything [C]Must Change)
[D]And like a world, [Bb]this earth and seasons,
[F]everything must change
[Gm](Everything, Everything [F]Must Change)
[D#]And like a dream, [F]a life, a reason,
[G]everything must change
[C]♪
[D]And like a world, [Bb]this earth and seasons,
[F]everything must change
[Gm](Everything Must Change, [F]Everything Must Change)
[D#]And like a dream, [F]a life, a reason,
[G]everything must change
[C]And like a world, [D]this earth and seasons,
[Bb]everything must change...
