[Chorus]
A/F# Ab/E  Gb/D  F/Db A/F# Ab/E Gb/D
Change, no no oh no (oh..mm...)
F/Db                  A/F#  Ab/E       Gb/D
When are things gonna cha-a-ange? oh no no no
F/Db                   A/F#    Ab/E Gb/D F/Db  A
When are things gonna, change? oh no;no-no

[Verse]
A/F#      Ab/E    Gb/D                   F/Db
Stumbling out the bar, I’m way passed my limit
A/F#            Ab/E     Gb/D                  F/Db
Stuck thinking ‘bout you love, but wait I'm not finished.
A/F#
Speak of the devil,
  Ab/E                      Gb/D                          F/Db
I pick up my cell phone and see that there's seven missed calls
     A/F#
I’ll get back to you baby,
Ab/E                       Gb/D                        F/Db  A
there’s no way to save me, from getting the keys to my car.

Promise me you won’t get mad when I tell you what happened,
F#5                    A5                          B5     (Bass Lick)
Lost some boys in blew faster than the strike of a matchstick
F#5                      A5
Don’t worry about me, my seatbelt is fastened
    B5                      Db5
and when I get home I’ll be expectin’ an ass-kickin'
F#5                    A5                     B5      Db5
and write before I can finish the words to my sentence.

[Chorus]
                      A/F# Ab/E Gb/D F/Db
When are things gonna change? oh no no
             A/F# Ab/E Gb/D F/Db
Things gonna cha-a-ange, no
                      A/F#  Ab/E  Gb/D  F/Db
When are things gonna change? yeah
                      A/F# Ab/E  Gb/D F/Db
When are things gonna cha-ange?, cha-ange?

[Verse]
                          A/F#
And when are things gonna change?
             Ab/E                       Gb/D                        F/Db
I’m tired of waiting but how long's the wait cause I deal with this daily,
          A/F#                Ab/E                  Gb/D
day after day, Lord I’ve been patient, dealing with pain,
               F/Db
I just have to face it,
               A/F#
I come home to nothing,
                   Ab/E                    Gb/D                 F/Db
I’m stuck here out buskin’ to make a quick buck, I ain’t gonna stop,
              A/F#                       Ab/E                       Gb/D
goin’ through somethin’, I'm pushin’ and shovin’, I'll fight my way through,
              F/Db
reach for the top.

                A/F#                      Ab/E
I hitch ride on buses, get attention from dozens,
      Gb/D                               F/Db
and I pack up my shit when confronted by cops.
            A/F#                 Ab/E
But there’s just one thing that slaps me
                       Gb/D                  F/Db
in cuffs in every supermarket indoor parking lot.

[Chorus]
            A/F# Ab/E Gb/D   F/Db  A/F#  Ab/E  Gb/D  F/Db
My ambition for cha-ange, no no oh no
                      A/F#   Ab/E Gb/D   F/Db
When are things gonna cha-a-ange? no! no no
                       A/F#  Ab/E  Gb/D  F/Db   Ab/E
When are things gonna, change?

What do we call the man in the mirror, holding a gun up to his brain? Insane.
                    Ab/E                Gb/D                       F/Db Ab/E    A/F#
What do we call the chimes in my pocket earned from singing in the rain? Pocket change.
                       Ab/E
In my case darling who would've thought,
      Gb/D               F/Db                  Ab/E
I was passed out on bar stools and drowning in shots,
    A/F#                   Ab/E                  Gb/D
you were worried damn long nights and staring at clocks,
          F/Db           Ab/E
screaming when it gonna stop.
                      A/F# Ab/E Gb/D F/Db
When are things gonna cha-ange? no no.
