Runnin' from change

I'm lookin' for change

I'm searchin' for change

I'm lookin' for change

Verse 2
I just want, I just want
F#m 
E 
 (F sharp minor) (change) Yeah, I don't like new things  (E major) 
D 
Got a lot of mood swings  (D major) 
Oh, you wanna tell me somethin' negative?
I don't wanna hear what you think
F#m 
E 
 (F sharp minor) Yeah, tossin' in my sleep  (E major) 
D 
Every night for like two weeks  (D major) 
Thinkin' 'bout how I could have done this
Bm 
or  (B minor) done that better
Can't help it, that's just me
F#m 
Yeah,  (F sharp minor) Lies, that's me avoidin' the change
E 
Yeah, that's  (E major) probably why
the issues ain't goin' away
D 
Yeah, that's  (D major) probably why
I always sit around and complain
Tellin' myself that
I ain't never gettin' out of this place

Out of my  (F sharp minor) face  if you tellin' me
I need to be different
E 
That's the  (E major) issue though,
I'm always insecurity-driven

Takin' the  (D major) wrong turns,
actin' like I know where I'm headed
Bm 
Waitin' for  (B minor) somethin' bad to happen,
I can snap any minute
F#m 
I need  (F sharp minor) change
Yeah, that's kinda easy to say, right?
E 
But  (E major) difficult to do when I feel like I hate life
D 
And  (D major) everyone around me
kinda thinks I'm a great guy
But I don't ever think it
so I think I'm a fake liar
F#m 
 (F sharp minor) Change It's somethin' that I know I should do
E 
I'm a  (E major) little uncomfortable, to tell you the truth
D 
But to be  (D major) honest with you lately,
I got nothin' to lose
Bm 
See, I've always  (B minor) been full of pain,
but now I'm makin' some room

Verse 3
I just want, I just want
F#m 
 (F sharp minor) I need a moment of silence
E 
 (E major) I don't like change, but I'll try it
D 
 (D major) I don't wanna hear what I should
or I shouldn't do
Why are they always defiant?
F#m 
 (F sharp minor) See, all my emotions are liars
E 
 (E major) All my emotions are violent
D 
 (D major) They don't want freedom to find me
Mention a name and everybody riots
F#m 
 (F sharp minor) (Change) that's why I'm checkin' my vitals
E 
 (E major) They keep on workin', but I know
D 
Breathin' don't  (D major) mean you're alive, so
I bag up all of my trash
and walk out on my tightrope
F#m 
Positive  (F sharp minor) thoughts are my rivals
E 
I'm tryna be on their  (E major) side though
Should I feel comfortable? I don't
D 
 (D major) Last year, I felt suicidal
This year, I might do somethin' different
like talkin' to God more

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming
