Things I Cannot Change.
(Jaime Hanna, Dennis Britt, Alan Miller)


Intro:  Am  C   G   E     (4X)

Am   C    G     E      Am
Leaves fall     in the cool October air
     C     G      E       Am
Days grow short,      and I can't remember where
     C    G       E        Am
I saw you last,     turned against the summer light
    C    G       E      F
Walking off,      on that final August night.

         Fm     C
I was there on my knees, all alone
    Am D      Fm       C
In a world where nothing ever stays the same
   Am D     Fm        C
I am left with only things I cannot change
    Am  D        Fm       C    C
You've gone away and left me things I cannot change

Am     C      G     E     Am
Smoke will rise       and a fire always burns
      C     G        E
Sands will drift    and tides will turn
           Am       C
And I can't     wrestle with the sea
  G           E        Am    C
Rearrange the sky    or fight against the wind
  G        E     F   Fm
Any more than I can bring you back to me

   Am  D      Fm       C
In a world where nothing ever stays the same
   Am  D     Fm       C
I am left with only things I cannot change
    Am  D        Fm       C
You've gone away and left me things I cannot change
  Am  D       Fm       C
So far away and left me things I cannot change

Am  D   Fm   C (repeat)

Left me things I cannot change
