| G          | D          | Em         | C          |
| G          | D          | Em         | C          |

[Verse 1]
G                     D
  Now I know it isn't easy,
                F                          C
the things I've put you through, I have no right to do.
G                         D
  You try so very hard to please me
          F                        C
but I'm remote from you, so rarely close to you.

[Chorus]
G                                D
  You've got me thinking for the first time
Em                               C
  about the things I've said and done.
G                            D
  Now I see things much more clearly,
Em                                  C
  feels like the change must surely come.

[Verse 4]
G                           D
  It's not as if I couldn't realise,
      F                 C
I was hurting you, soul-searching you.
G                                       D
Sensing your bravery, feeling unsavoury most of the time,
             F                 C
well, have I been so blind?

[Chorus]
G                                D
  You've got me thinking for the first time
Em                               C
  about the things I've said and done.
G                            D
  Now I see things much more clearly,
Em                                  C
  feels like the change must surely come.

[Bridge]
Am                             C
  Well, you've no reason for believing
        Am                       C
but I'm tired of all this self-deceiving.

[Interlude]
| G          | D          | Em         | C          |
| G          | D          | Em         | C          |

[Chorus]
G                                D
  You've got me thinking for the first time
Em                               C
  about the things I've said and done.
G                            D
  Now I see things much more clearly,
Em                                  C
  feels like the change must surely come.

[End-Chorus]
G                                D
  You've got me thinking for the first time
Em                               C
  about the things I've said and done.
G                            D
  Now I see things much more clearly,
Em                                  C
  feels like the change must surely come.
