Intro: G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Verse 1:
G                       Cadd9
Sometimes I talk like a turnstile

G                           Cadd9
when I have had too much to drink

G                             Cadd9
A tangled tongue like English Ivy

G                              Cadd9
Just like a film dubbed out of sync


G                           Cadd9
The phone is ringing in the guest room

G                      Cadd9
A muffled voice on the machine

G                                   Cadd9
It's either someone I don't want to talk to

G                               Cadd9
Or someone selling what I don't need

           D           G                  Cadd9
'Cause I'm waiting for you to come on home

Verse 2:
Sometimes I fall in fits of laughter
My bottle shatters on the floor
And you apologize profusely
for the drunkard on your arm

Chorus:

G        D             Cadd9
And I'll change, love, change, love

Em             G
Change for you

      D    Cadd9         Em               G
Cause even slurred words can contain some truth

     D             Cadd9
I'll change, love, change, love

Em            G
Change for you

     D    Cadd9     G
When I am ready to
