C                       Em7
Still don't know what I was waiting for
        F
And my time was running wild
G          F
A million dead-end streets and
C                      Em7
Every time I thought I'd got it made
               F                 G
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
     Cmaj7    Dm7      Em7   D#m7
So I turned myself to face me
    Dm7                       G
But I've never caught a glimpse
           Cmaj7       Dm7       Em7 D#m7
Of how the others must see the faker
              Dm7
I'm much too fast to take that test

Chorus:

G          F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C         C 
Turn and face the strange
 C         C 
Ch-ch-Changes
F       C              D
Don't want to be a richer man
G          F
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C         C 
Turn and face the strange
 C         C 
Ch-ch-Changes
F     C                 D
It's gonna have to be a different man
  F    C   A#    F
Time may change me
    C   G     F    C
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Chorus:
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

   F                     C          F  C
Strange fascination, fascinating me
  F                     G
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Chorus:
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-Changes
Look out you rock'n'rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

             F    C   A#     F
I said that time may change me
    C   G    F     C
But I can't trace time
