Intro: Ebmaj7 Gm Eb(9)
Dm7
One hand
F/Eb Eb
Reaches out
Bb F/A Eb Eb/F
And pulls a lost soul from harm
F F/G Gm
While a thousand more
Ebmaj7
Go unspoken for
Bb
They say what good have you done
Ab
By saving just this one
Fsus F
It's like whispering a prayer
Fsus F
In the fury of a storm
Chorus
Ebmaj7 Bb
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
F7 Eb/Bb
Bb
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
Ebmaj7 Gm Eb
But it's not the world that I am chang- - - - -ing
Bb Eb/F F7
I do this so this world will know
Eb/Bb Bb
That it will not change me
Verse 2:
This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Ab
As long as one heart still lives on
Gm7 Bb/F F
Then hope is never really gone
Bb Ebmaj7 Bb
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
F7 Eb/Bb
Bb
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
Ebmaj7 Gm Eb
But it's not the world that I am chang- - - - -ing
Bb Eb/F F7
I do this so this world we know
Gm Eb
Never changes me
Bb
What I do is so
Eb/F F7
This world will know
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
That it will not change me
