[Intro]
C Em G7
[Verse 1]
C Am Em
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
Dm7 G7
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
C Am Em
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me
[Chorus 1]

G
Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world
[Verse 2]
C Am Em Dm7
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
G7
They call me on and on across the universe
C Am Em
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
Dm7 G7
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
[Chorus 2]

Jai Guru De - va O - m

Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing through my opened ears
Dm7 Fm
Inciting and inviting me
C Am Em Dm7
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns

And calls me on and on and on across the universe
[Chorus 3]
