You Changed My Life

[Intro]
D 
 
[Verse 1]
      D                          F#m/C#
I was listening to the voices of death on parade
D/C                                      G
 Singin' about conspiracy, wanting me to be afraid
Bb6                             D
Working for a system I couldn't understand or trust
A7sus4                                    A7
Suffering ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust
 
[Chorus]
    D   G               | D | % |
But you, 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                            F#m/C#
Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired
           D/C                               G
They got a million things to do, they're all so inspired
           Bb6                          D
You do the work of the devil, you got a million friends
        A7sus4                                           A7
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
      G                     D
I was under the gun, clouds blocking the sun
D   A          | D | % |
You changed my life
 
[Verse 3]
          D                   F#m/C#
Well, the nature of man is to beg and to steal
  D/C                         G
I do it myself, it's not so unreal
                Bb6                   D
The call of the wild is forever at my door
            A7sus4                        A7
Wants me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor
 
[Chorus]
    D   G              | D | % |
But you, you changed my life
D          G            | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
     G                       D
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
D   A          | D | % |
You changed my life

[Verse 4]
      D                          F#m/C#
I was eating with the pigs off a fancy tray
      D/C                            G
I was told I was looking good and to have a nice day
   Bb6                          D
It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite
            A7sus4                       A7
Eating that absolute garbage while being so discreet
 
[Chorus]
     D  G           | D | % |
When you changed my life
D          G            | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
     G                       D

You changed my life

[Verse 5]
         D                              F#m/C#
You were glowing in the sun while being peaceably calm
      D/C                          G
While orphans of man danced to the beat of the palm
     Bb6                     D
Your eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass
       A7sus4                  A7
In the world you had made they made you an outcast
 
[Chorus]
    D   G               | D | % |
But you, you changed my life
D          G            | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
     G                       D
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
D   A          | D | % |
You changed my life
 
[Verse 6]
          D                               F#m/C#
There was someone in my body that I could hardly see
  D/C                            G
Invading my privacy, making my decisions for me
Bb6                  D
Holding me back, not letting me stand
          A7sus4                    A7
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
    G                        D
You come down the line, give me a new mind
D   A          | D | % |
You changed my life
 
[Verse 7]
   D                         F#m/C#
My Lord and my Savior, my companion, my friend
      D/C                    G
Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end
   Bb6                       D
My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy
         A7sus4                        A
What the world is set against but will never destroy
 
[Chorus]
    D   G              | D | % |
And you, you changed my life
D          G            | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
         G                      D
You came in like the wind, like Errol Flynn
D   A          | D | % |
You changed my life
