Intro:    Ebmaj7		Gm		Eb(9)

Dm7
One hand
F/Eb       Eb
Reaches out
Bb                       F/A 	          Eb       Eb/F
  And pulls a lost soul from harm
F             F/G         Gm
While a thousand more
          Ebmaj7
Go unspoken for
                Bb
They say what good have you done
       Ab
By saving just this one
             Fsus                     F
It's like whispering a prayer
           Fsus                F
In the fury of a storm


Chorus
                           Ebmaj7                  Bb
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
             F7                                                   Eb/Bb
    Bb
And no matter what you do it's still the same                 thing
                         Ebmaj7            Gm              Eb
But it's not the world that I am chang- - - - -ing
   Bb                  Eb/F              F7
I do this so this world will know
                         Eb/Bb       Bb
That it will not change      me


Verse 2:
This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Ab
As long as one heart still lives on
Gm7                                                Bb/F         F
Then hope is never really gone


Bb                         Ebmaj7                  Bb
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
             F7                                                   Eb/Bb
    Bb
And no matter what you do it's still the same                 thing
                         Ebmaj7            Gm              Eb
But it's not the world that I am chang- - - - -ing
   Bb                  Eb/F              F7
I do this so this world we know
           Gm                  Eb
Never changes me

               Bb
What I do is so
        Eb/F                 F7
This world will know
                         Eb/Bb  Bb	Eb/Bb	Bb
That it will not change me

Outro: Eb(9)		Gm	Eb(9)
