capo 1st fret 


Intro: (x2) 

Bm    D    F#m    E 
Bm    D    E 

Bm              D         F#m 
I watched the flood on my TV today 
   E                 Bm 
I couldn't say from where 
               D          E 
Just another flood on my TV 
Bm        D               F#m 
I wasn't bothered, it was far away 
 E                Bm 
Worlds away from here 
         D          E 
From my family and me 


Bm              D/F#           F#m 
But just for a second I could feel 
                  E                           Bm 
The safe and independent life of mine is not real 
            D/F#           F#m 
Just for a second I could see 
                   E                        D/F# 
That nothing is forever and nothing is for free 


(E  F#m  E) A      Bm     D/F# 
When will I go and make a change 
(E   F#m  E) A          Bm     D/F# 
I've got the time and I let it waste 
   (E       F#m    E)        A            Bm       D 
I frown at people who don't care but I'm just the same 
                E                             Bm    D    F#m    E 
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day 

Bm    D    E 


Bm          D                 F#m     
A bomb went off not far from here tonight 
     E             Bm 
And now I'm wide-awake 
             D             E 
Tossing and turning in my bed 
Bm          D               F#m 
A glass of Hennessey's sits by my side 
         E            Bm 
But with every sip I take 
                D            E 
These visions creep into my head 


Bm            D/F#         F#m 
Just in this second I can see 
                    E                             Bm 
The lights go and bricks and ceilings tumbling on me 
              D/F#         F#m 
Just in this second I can hear 
                       E                        D/F# 
The steps of panicked neighbours, the sound of fear 


 (E  F#m  E) A      Bm     D/F# 
When will I go and make a change 
(E   F#m  E) A          Bm     D/F# 
I've got the time and I let it waste 
   (E       F#m    E)        A            Bm       D 
I frown at people who don't care but I'm just the same 
                E                            F#m   (E    Bm   E) 
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day 


D/F#    F#m   (F#m   E   Bm    E) 

D    E    (F#m   E   Bm    E) 

D/F#    E    (F#m    E    A   E) 


D/F# (E  F#m  E  A)    Bm     D/F# 
    When will I go and make a change 
(E   F#m  E)  A         Bm     D/F# 
I've got the time and I let it waste 
   (E       F#m    E)        A            Bm       D 
I frown at people who don't care but I'm just the same 
                E                 (N.C.)                Bm 
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day 


- Alternatively you can end with F#m if you like :)
