Verse 1:
DbDb      AbAb          BbmBbm
When I was a boy I learned not to cry
DbDb       AbAb           BbmBbm
My daddy would scream, I learned how to hide
DbDb          AbAb      BbmBbm
That fool(?) could I run with this ribbon of mine
DbDb     AbAb       BbmBbm
Leading me back before we unwind


Chorus 1:
DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm FILL 1
If you ever change your mind
DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm FILL 2
If you ever change your mind


Verse 2:
DbDb        AbAb       BbmBbm
I learned how to do better each time
DbDb      AbAb           BbmBbm
I buried this heart and years went on by
DbDb       AbAb            BbmBbm
But what do you do when there's nothing inside?
DbDb     AbAb       BbmBbm
Lost in the dirt covered in vines

Chorus 2:
DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm FILL 1
If you ever change your mind
DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm FILL 2
If you ever change your mind
DbDb        FF        BbmBbm
Touch me and then teach me how to cry
DbDb     AbAb     BbmBbm
If you ever change your mind
