Intro

C5 C5/Bb C5/A C5/Ab x2

Verse 1

Is happiness real 
Or am I so jaded? 
Can't see or feel 
Like a man been tainted 

Pre-Chorus

Numbed by the effect, aware of the news
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse

Chorus

I'm the changing man,
Woah, I'm built on shifting sands 
Yeah, I'm the changing man,
Woah, I'm waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse
    

Verse 2

Our time is on a loan 
Only ours to borrow 
What I can't be today 
I can be tomorrow 

Pre-Chorus

The more I see, The more I know,
The more I know, the less I understand

Chorus

I'm the changing man,
I'm built on shifting sands 
Yeah, I'm the changing man,
I'm waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse
    

Solo

C5 C5/Bb C5/A C5/Ab x2

Bridge

C5* A5 Bb5 C5* A5 Ab5
It's a bigger part when our instincts act
C5* A5 Bb5 C5* A5 Ab5
Oh, a shot in the dark, a movement in black

Pre-Chorus

The more I see, The more I know,
The more I know, the less I understand

Chorus

I'm the changing man,
Built on shifting sands (I don't have a plan)
I'm the changing man,
I'm waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse
  
Built on shifting sands 
Yeah, I'm the changing man,
I'm waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse, yeah
