[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm Dm
Am Am Am Am

[Verse 1]
Dm
Ask me about me again
Dm
You know it hurts to feel it
Dm
You should read between these-
Am
Ask me about me again
Am
Even when my heart declines
Am
Nothing works when I don't
          Dm
Go 'head try me
           Dm
'Cause I'm safe behind
these walls
Dm
Think you can take me
 through the fog where
I'm no challenge
Am
Childish, childish
Am
Yeah, you, you can try me

[Chorus]
Dm
I've changed?
Dm
There's only been one
thing that I've changed
                 Am
Nothin' is ever enough
I don't have to tell you
      Am
 what I'vе changed, oh-oh, no
'Cause I couldn't tell you
      Dm
 that I'vе changed (Changed)

There's only been one thing
      Dm
that has changed
(Changed, changed)
                 Am
Nothin' is ever enough
(Changed)
I don't have to tell you
      Am
what I've changed, no-oh, no
Am
'Cause I couldn't tell you that

[Verse 2]
Dm
I, I think too fast at times
Dm
I try to keep it out
Dm
But it don't work even
though I try to forget that
               Am
Even though I try to forget that
                 Am
I know that it's hard
to ignore it
                 Am
I know that it's heartless
 to play me
          Am
Go 'head try me

[Chorus]
Dm
I've changed?
Dm
There's only been one
thing that I've changed
                 Am
Nothin' is ever enough
I don't have to tell you
      Am
 what I'vе changed, oh-oh, no
'Cause I couldn't tell you
      Dm
 that I'vе changed (Changed)

There's only been one thing
      Dm
 that has changed
(Changed, changed)
                 Am
Nothin' is ever enough
 (Changed)
I don't have to tell you
      Am
what I've changed, no-oh, no
Am
'Cause I couldn't tell you that

[Verse 3]
Dm
   Hoping I've learnt
Take back your word
Dm    .                    Dm
   Might hurt, but I won't hide
             Am
I know myself, I know I wasn't
Am
The only one that has
 been through what
I have today
Dm
  Can you wait for this second?
Dm
To please somebody else
other than your needs
Am
  You've got a lot left
 on these sleeves
G
  But your heart's not
on your sleeve
       Dm
Try to believe me though

Gotta listen, gotta learn,
       Dm
gotta live, gotta fight,
gotta earn
Dm
And your mind's made up on me
Am
  I say your mind's
made up on me
                        C
Gotta live, gotta learn
