Intro

G   Bm   A

G   Bm   A   



A            G                  Bm
Well how the times have changed

                A                                 
Lookin' back it seems so clear now

A	       G              Bm
Everything you wanted in your life

                       A       G
Everything is certain, try and understand

Bm		A
Put a checklist on your wall

A             G			   Bm      A
I am not what you think I should be



           G      Bm                   A         Bm  
But you're makin' amends, through your circle of friends

           G         Bm              A
And you're trying to fit me to their mold

           G      Bm                   A         Bm
Yes you're makin' amends, through your circle of friends

           G      Bm                 A
And you're trying to fit me to their mold


A     G     Bm     A 

A     G     Bm     A


(gradually get louder)

A                     G    
When you're tryin' to make decisions

Bm              A
Will you try to water this thing down

A       G                    Bm             A
Look up once in a while, you see its not so clear

A              G                  Bm                  A
The things you believe in are the things that's worth keepin'

    A               G                   Bm        A
You make a promise, stand right by your words




           G      Bm                   A         Bm  
But you're makin' amends, through your circle of friends

           G         Bm              A
And you're trying to fit me to their mold

           G      Bm                   A         Bm
Yes you're makin' amends, through your circle of friends

           G      Bm                 A
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
