[Chorus]
B                                                                F#
Forever changing places with the same old me
G#m                                                     E
I’m wrecking up the cases of who I failed to be
B
Why would I replace the sky?
F#                                      G#m
Why would I recreate that perfect blue?
E
What would I change it to?

Oh, won’t you tell me?

What would I change it to?
G#m
Oh, won’t you tell me?
E

Listen for B – F# – G#m – E (I – V – vi – IV in B major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
