Lyrics
Still don’t know what I was look ing for and my (Bb)time was run ning wild; a mil lion (C)dead end streets.
Ev ’ry time I thought I’d got it made, it seemed the (Bb)taste was not so sweet.
So I (Fmaj7)turned my (Gm7)self to face me
but (Gm7)I’ve nev er caught a glimpse
of how the (F)oth ers must (Eb)see the fak ers.
I’m much too (Bb)fast to take that test.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) Don’t want to (Dm)be a rich (G7)er one.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) (Bb)Mm, just gon na (Dm)have to be a dif (G7)f’rent one.
(D5)Time (C5)may (Eb5)change (Bb5)me,
but (Am)I (G5)can’t (Dm)trace (F)time.
Ooh,
(G)yeah.
I watch the rip ples change their size but (Bb)nev er leave the stream of warm im (C)per ma nence.
And so the days flow (Am)through my eyes, but (Bb)still the days seem the same.
(C7)And these (Fmaj7)chil dren that you spit on
as (Gm7)they try to change their (C)worlds,
they’re im (F)mune to your con sul (Bb)ta tions.
They’re quite a (Bb)ware of what they’re go ing through.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) Don’t tell them to grow up and (G7)out of it.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) (Bb)Where’s your shame?
You’ve (Dm)left us up to (G7)our necks in it.
(D5)Time (C5)may (Eb5)change (Bb5)me,
but (Am)you (G5)can’t (Dm)trace (F)time.
(Bb)Strange fas ci na tion, fas (F)’nat ing me.
Ah, (Bb)chang es are (Eb)tak (Bb)ing the (C5)pace I’m go ing through.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) Ooh, (Dm)look out, you rock ’n’ roll ers.
(Ch ch ch ch chang es, Turn and face the strange ch ch chang es.) (Bb)Pret ty soon now (Dm)you’re gon na get old er.
(D5)Time (C5)may (Eb5)change (Bb5)me,
but (Am)I (G5)can’t (Dm)trace (F)time.
I said that (D5)time (C5)may (Eb5)change (Bb5)me,
but (Am)I (G5)can’t (Dm)trace (F5)time.
