| G | Bm/F# | Em | G |


I've heard how some [Bm/F#]people
Have said that I've [G/D]changed
That I'm not what I was
How it really is a shame


The thoughts in their [Bm/F#]heads
Manifest on their [G/D]brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
They themselves arouse

[Pre-Chorus]
So hateful of anyone
That is happy or free
They live all their lives
Without looking to see

It's funny how [Bm/F#]people
Just won't accept [G/D]change
As if nature itself
They'd prefer re-arranged


So hard to move [Bm/F#]on
When you're down in a [G/D]hole
Where there's so little chance
To experience soul

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm grateful to anyone
That is happy or free
For giving me hope
While I'm looking to see
