Chorus
Cm
But I can change, I can change,
Gm
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it
Bb
Open up my heart and I will tear it
A D
Any minute now I swear I'll share it
Cm
Oh it's strange, yes it's strange,
Gm
Though I guess it's quite clear,
Bb
I killed the antelope, the deer,
A
And there's no home on my range
G#
Yes, I'm a little dearranged
Gm
But I can change.
