Intro:
Db (sounds best played at 9-11-11-10-9-9 here)


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


Chorus 1:
Db          Ab          Bbm  FILL 1
If you ever change your mind
Db          Ab          Bbm  FILL 2
If you ever change your mind


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


Chorus 2:
Db          Ab          Bbm  FILL 1
If you ever change your mind
Db          Ab          Bbm  FILL 2
If you ever change your mind
Db                F               Bbm
Touch me and then teach me how to cry
Db          Ab         Bbm
If you ever change your mind

               Abm           A    B   A
This bone will break along a line
                    B               E   Dbm

If you ever change your mind
