verse 

Dm           G            Dm          G    
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways  
Dm        G           Dm      G 
keeping myself to myself 
Db                  Eb            Db              Eb         
Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away  
Db           Eb       F 
living with somebody else 
              Bb    C       Am   F                  
If you should change your mind.        
             Bb     C        Am          F 
If you would turn around and look behind 
             Bb  C      Dm                 
If you could see me the way I used to be. 
Gm             Bbm               Am            F 
At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair 
Gm            Bbm    Am   F    
I would do it all  again      
Gm            Bbm             Am             F 
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care 
Bbm              Db       Eb      Db     
Knowing that the show was soon to end. 
    Eb          Ab   Absus4   Ab    
If only I could change your mind,   
Db    Eb             Ab   Absus4   Ab 
If    only you would change. 
Eb           Db         Fm              Bbm            Dbm      Ab 
If I had the chance I'd do it all again, I would do it all     again.

verse 

Dm         G            Dm            G     
I remember windy shores on melancholy days  
Dm        G             Dm   G 
drifting along with the tide 
Db             Eb            Db           Eb          
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways  
Db         Eb           F  
taking it all in my stride 
              Bb    C      Am   F                 
If you should change your mind.  
           Bb       C        Am          F 
If I could let you see what lies behind. 
             Bb   C      Dm                  
If you could need me the way it used to be.  
Gm          Bbm          Am             F 
Even for a moment of the happy times we shared 
Gm           Bbm          Am   F         
Living in my dreams since then.         
Gm             Bbm         Am             F 
At the risk of losing only castles in the air 
Bbm              Db     Eb  Db Eb  Db Eb  
Come with me and we can try again. Ohhh, 
Db     Eb                  F 
Oh, if I could change your mind. 
Db                 Eb              Db              Eb 
Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away 
Db          Eb                  F  
Oh, if only I could change your mind.
