[Intro]
G G/B C
G G/B C
G G/B C
Oh-oh oh oh
G G/B C
Oh-oh oh oh

[Verse 1]
G                                                                G/B C
Waking up too early in the city feeling disconnected
G                                                                               G/B C
The underground and my understanding have delays on the line
G                                                     G/B                                                     C
The weather and the way we worked out weren’t quite as expected
G                                                     G/B                                         C
I’ve been melting in the summer heat going out of my mind

[Pre-chorus 1]
Cmaj7                           Em9                           D
So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid
Cmaj7                                                     D
The big things stay the same and you just say

[Chorus 1]
G                           G/B           C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G                           G/B            C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)

[Verse 2]
G                                                     G/B                                                     C
Giving up too easy when we could’ve tried a little bit harder
G                                                     G/B                                                     C
Standing to the side as the neighbourhood went to the dogs
G                           G/B                                                     C
We spend our energy getting angry instead of being kinder
G                                                     G/B                                      C
Singing hymns of praise in a city given up on by the gods

[Pre-chorus 2]
Cmaj7                           Em9                D
So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid
Cmaj7                                                     D
The big things stay the same until we make

[Chorus 2]
G             G/B                           C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G         G/B                           C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G           G/B C
Little changes
G G/B C

[Bridge]
Em
‘Cause I’ve been messing things up
Em
And I’ve been letting you down
G
I’ve been getting it wrong for far too long
D
I’ve been lost more than found
Em
And I don’t know where to start
Em
But something’s gotta break
G
Don’t pull it apart, keep it close to your heart
D
I’ll do whatever it takes

[Pre-chorus 3]
C                           Em                           D
So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid
C                                                     D
The big things stayed the same, let us make

[Chorus 3]
G                           G/B          C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G                G/B                           C
Little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G                           G/B                                                     C
Come on let’s make some little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G                                                     G/B                           C
It’s time to make some little changes (oh-oh oh oh)

[Outro]
G                           G/B                 C
Let’s not just pray (oh-oh oh oh)
G                G/B                           C
Let’s make a change (oh-oh oh oh)
G                           G/B                      C
Let’s not just pray (oh-oh oh oh)
G            G/B                                C
Let’s make a change (oh-oh oh oh)
G                                                     G/B                           C
Come on let’s make some little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
G                                                     G/B                           C
Let’s try to make some little changes (oh-oh oh oh)
