A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
Stumbling out the bar, I’m way passed my limit
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
Stuck thinking ‘bout you love, but wait I'm not finished.

Promise me you won’t get mad when I tell you what happened,
F#5 A5 B5 (Bass Lick)
Lost some boys in blew faster than the strike of a matchstick
F#5A5
Don’t worry about me, my seatbelt is fastened
B5Db5
and when I get home I’ll be expectin’ an ass-kickin'
F#5A5B5Db5
and write before I can finish the words to my sentence.
[Chorus]
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
When are things gonna change? oh no no

And when are things gonna change?

I’m tired of waiting but how long's the wait cause I deal with this daily,
A/F#Ab/EGb/D
day after day, Lord I’ve been patient, dealing with pain,
F/Db
I just have to face it,
A/F#
I come home to nothing,
Ab/EGb/DF/Db
I’m stuck here out buskin’ to make a quick buck, I ain’t gonna stop,
A/F#Ab/EGb/D
goin’ through somethin’, I'm pushin’ and shovin’, I'll fight my way through,
F/Db
reach for the top.
A/F#Ab/E
I hitch ride on buses, get attention from dozens,
Gb/DF/Db
and I pack up my shit when confronted by cops.
A/F#Ab/E
But there’s just one thing that slaps me
Gb/DF/Db
in cuffs in every supermarket indoor parking lot.
[Chorus]
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/DbA/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
My ambition for cha-ange, no no oh no
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
When are things gonna cha-a-ange? no! no no
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/DbAb/E
When are things gonna, change?
[Outro]
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/DbAb/EA/F#
What do we call the man in the mirror, holding a gun up to his brain? Insane.
Ab/EGb/DF/DbAb/EA/F#
What do we call the chimes in my pocket earned from singing in the rain? Pocket change.
Ab/E
In my case darling who would've thought,
Gb/DF/DbAb/E
I was passed out on bar stools and drowning in shots,
A/F#Ab/EGb/D
you were worried damn long nights and staring at clocks,
F/DbAb/E
screaming when it gonna stop.
A/F#Ab/EGb/DF/Db
When are things gonna cha-ange? no no.
