      D                          F#m/C#
I was listening to the voices of death on parade

D/C                                      G
 Grand Central Station with the anonymous phone calls I made

Bb6                           D
Working for a system I didn't understand or trust

A7
Suffering ridicule at every turn and and wanting to give up in disgust
[Chorus]

But you, changed my life

Came along in a time of strife

In hunger and need you made my heart bleed

[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
I was practicing free choice and the freedom of speech

         A7
But that pearly gate prize was just a little bit out of reach
[Chorus]
    D  G           | D | % |
But you changed my life

D          G            | A | % |

Under the gun, clouds blocking the sun

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

           A7
Want me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor
[Chorus]

From silver and gold and from man what cannot hold

You changed my life

[Verse 4]
            D                          F#m/C#
Well, I was eating with the pigs off a fancy tray

      D/C                        G
I was fairly looking good, I was told to have a nice day

   Bb6                      D
It all seemed so proper and so elite

            A7
Eating that absolute garbage while being so discreet

You opened the doors; I came in on all fours

You changed my life

[Verse 5]
          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

          A7
Making me feel like a stranger in a strange land
[Chorus]
