[Intro] - C#m | Amaj7 | F#m | Amaj7 x4
[Verse]
C#m Amaj7
I keep recycling stories from my youth
F#m Amaj7
That I've told before
C#m Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
Conversations with myself have become such a bore
C#m Amaj7 F#m
Struggling to find the rhythm
Amaj7
in these blues of mine
C#m Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
I've been living out of focus barren of life and light
[Chorus]
E F#m7/11
If I try to change direction
A E
I might not find what I'm looking for
E F#m7/11
But this bitter disposition
A E
By now has surely run its course
[Interlude] C#m | Amaj7 | F#m | Amaj7 x4
[Verse]
C#m Amaj7
Now I've been given the gift of persistence
F#m Amaj7
But it's become a curse
C#m Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
Unraveling backwards in the distance I hear a dirge
C#m Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
I can see a man, on his face there's no trace of time
C#m Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
There's a strange and mad idea that I must find
[Chorus]
E F#m7/11
If I try to change direction
A E
I might not find what I'm looking for
E F#m7/11
But this bitter disposition
A E
By now has surely run its course
[Bridge] x4
"I wanna change direction"
