This is the chords of Everybody Changes by Kodaline on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Em               C            
 We say that the hardest thing
    G             D
  to do is say goodbye
Em            C             
  This is the hardest thing 
 G              D
  (Hardest thing)
Em            C           
  We tried to stitch it up 
     G            D
  and now I wonder why
Em            C            G      D
  Why is this happening to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
                   Em   
But it wasn't right, yet
               C
 another fight
                     G    
We were young but we never
                    D
 quite took flight
               Em      
In another life, maybe 
           C
you and I
We'll be walking down the
 G
 aisle dressed in white

[Chorus]
Em             C           
I can see that all you need
    G               D
 is everything I'll never be
    Em                C
But everyone changes    
(Everyone)
G                 D
Everyone changes
Em              C
Say goodbye and let it be
  G                    D
I thought you were the one 
for me
    Em                C
But everyone changes   
 (Everyone)
G                  D
Everyone changes

[Verse 2]
Em            C              
  You say you left everything
   G                      D
   behind all because of me
Em               C           G    D
  But I gave you everything
Em            C
  Dreaming of future's bliss
  G                  D
A child and a family
Em              C     
  Did they ever mean a
          G      D
   thing to you?

[Pre-Chorus]
                   Em   
But it wasn't right, yet
                C
 another fight
                     G    
We were young but we never

 quite took flight
               Em      
In another life, maybe

We'll be walking down the

Everyone changes
Em              C
Say goodbye and let it be
  G                    D
I thought you were the one for me
    Em                C
