[Intro]
E Amaj7

[Verse 1]
  E          Emaj7
  I know you thinkin'
of all the
                  Amaj7
different kind of ways
  You convince me
to maybe
              E
spend another day
  Right here in your
arms but I
      Amaj7
can't stay (Mm,
 mm, mm)

[Chorus]
C#m7           C#m
  I'm not the same
  Same girl you knew
before
A
  I'm not the same
  Lately I've been
going
        E
through changes
  I know it, I
love it,
      Amaj7
and I hate it
  Sometimes you
have
to see some
          E
different faces
  Sometimes you
gotta move to
          Amaj7
different places
  I've got nothing
   C#m7  C#m
to lose
  Wish that you could
        Amaj7
see the view
  I've been going
 through
E
  Changes

Emaj7
  I'm in the city
alone
Amaj7
  I know you miss
me
  But I'm just an
 hour
 A
from home
E
  I've got to
move on
  My story is not
over yet
Amaj7
  Cause I'm so
ready
for whatever's
coming next

  I'm not the same
  Same girl you knew

 it, and
  Amaj7
I hate it

 gotta see some
          E
different faces
  Sometimes you
gotta move to
          Amaj7
different places
  I've got nothing
   C#m7  C#m
to lose
  Wish that you
              Amaj7

through changes
  I know it, I
love it,

and I hate it
  Sometimes you
  gotta
 see some
          E
different faces
  Sometimes you
 gotta move to
          Amaj7
different places
  I've got nothing
   C#m7  C#m
to lose
  Wish that you
could
        Amaj7

How to play Changes: key, chords and progression

Changes by Emily Vu is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 7 chords in all: E, Amaj7, Emaj7, C#m7, C#m, A and B.

Most of the song cycles through E – Amaj7 – C#m7 – C#m (I – IVmaj7 – vi7 – vi in E major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, Gmaj7, Dmaj7, Bm7, Bm, G, A (71% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 43% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
