F Dm Eb Db F


[Verse]
            C                       Dm     Bb
We can't survive any more with this notion
            F            A
Just saving up to buy a ball and chain;
           Bb            F
Seems it's all arranged
              C                      Gm      Am  Bb
You can't buy time and you can't buy emotion
                  F      Bb      C    Eb  Db  Dm
What have you and I been waiting for?


[Chorus]
          C  Bb                 F             C        Eb
The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
            Bb                C     F      Eb  Db  Dm
We can't go back and we can't stand still;
          C  Bb                 F             C
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
    Bb         F   Am  Db  Eb  F
But they never will


[Verse]
                 C                           Dm     Bb
They say in your life there's a tide for the taking
           F                 A
And if you wait, they say it goes away;
        Bb          F
It just flows away
              C                   Gm      Am  Bb
I know it may be a mistake we are making
                F          Bb F  C    Eb  Db  Dm
But if we don't try, we'll never know


[Chorus]
          C  Bb                 F             C        Eb
The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
            Bb                C     F      Eb  Db  Dm
We can't go back and we can't stand still;
          C  Bb                 F             C
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
    Bb         F
But they never will

The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
            Bb                C     F      Eb  Db  Dm
We can't go back and we can't stand still;
          C  Bb                 F             C
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
    Bb         F
But they never will
