        Dm
Here, I wait
C     F
for a good
        Bb
thing to resolve
       Dm
When I'm sinking
   C
in a ship
       Bb
I can't control
      Dm C
And I'm sick with
 F
a smile I
     Bb
try to hide
     Dm           C
Broken pieces of a lie
         Bb Clet go-o

  I never meant to let
Dm     C
you down, again
Bb
  I had it all, but
         C A
 watched it drown
Dm
Why does every good
       F
thing have to end?
              C
I've burned every
 bridge
   Bb
before it began
   C
(And now, I'm sinking)

I changed, a man I

swimming
        Bb

    Bb
of my faults
       Dm
Here, I sink,
C       F
holding on with
    Bb
all I had
   Dm
The tide will
  C
rise, I'm
 Bb
gonna own
   C
what's mine

  I never meant
 to let
Dm     C
you down, again
Bb
  I had it all, but
        C A
watched it drown

How to play Change: key, chords and progression

To play Change by Linkin Park, think in D minor (one flat: B♭). It takes 7 chords: Dm, F, C, Bb, A, D and Am.

The backbone of the song is Dm – F – C – Bb (i – III – VII – VI in D minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Bb need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
