                                                      G G C C G 
 It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
                                                G G C C G 
 Been in a head on collision with a medicine man
           D                                           
 I've been down in the alley where the odds are stacked
 Em                       C        
 Down on my knees, had to turn back
 CHORUS:
 G       D       Em       C          G   D Em C 
 Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
 (play twice)

 VERSE 2: (chords same as Verse 1)
 Down in a no man's land between sorrow and sweet

 (Fill: G|-3b-0--3b-0--3b-0--3b-0-- )
 

 Where the devil himself sits on the judgement seat
 Where you drown in your rain, your wind and your sleet
 When you're six feet under, down on your feet
 CHORUS
 BRIDGE 2:
 D                                  
 It's got to be tough, to be so true
 Em                           C        
 It's got to be even tougher, to be you
 D                                               
 Hammer on the door, singing "God Save The Queen"
 Em                   C    
 I want to leave this place
 CHORUS (one time only)
 (at this point, everything goes up one step. The chorus then becomes:)
 A       E       F#m       D          A  E F#m D 
 Change, Change, I need a change, Oh Lord
 (song ends: )
                                                      A A 
 It's been a long time coming and it's good to be back
 --                                                            
 I don't know the damn frequency, Michael. So shut the hell up.
