D                          C#
I was listening to the voices of death on parade
C                                 G
Singin' about conspiracy, wanting me to be afraid
Gm6                             D
Working for a system I couldn't understand or trust
Asus4                                     A
Suffering ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust.


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife
   G                   D
In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.


[Verse 2]
           D                 C#
Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired
           C                     G
They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired
           Gm6                          D
You do the work of the devil, you got a million friends
        Asus4                                    A
They'll be there when you got something, they'll take it all in the end


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife

In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.


[Verse 3]
          D                   C#
Well, the nature of man is to beg and to steal
  C                  G
I do it myself, it's not so unreal
    Gm6                    D
The call of the wild is forever at my door
Asus4                                     A
Wants me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife

In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.


[Verse 4]
      D                          C#
I was eating with the pigs off a fancy tray
      C                              G
I was told i was looking good and to have a nice day
   Gm6                          D
It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite
Asus4                        A
Eating that absolute garbage while being so discreet


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife

You changed my life.


[Verse 5]
         D                              C#
You were glowing in the sun while being peaceably calm
      C                            G
While orphans of man danced to the beat of the palm
     Gm6                     D
Your eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass
Asus4                          A
In the world you had made they made you an outcast


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife
   G                   D
In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.


[Verse 6]
          D                       C#
There was someone in my body that I could hardly see
  C                           G
Invading my privacy making my decisions for me
Gm6                  D
Holding me back, not letting me stand
Asus4                               A
Making me feel like a stranger in a strange land


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife

In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.


[Verse 7]
   D                      C#
My Lord and my Savior, my companion, my friend
        C               G
Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end
   Gm6                       D
My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy
Asus4                                  A
What the world is set against but will never destroy


[Chorus]

    D  G           D
But you changed my life
D          G            A
Came along in a time of strife
   G                   D
In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D   A          D
You changed my life.
