      F
When I was young and full of grace
    F
and spirited--a rattlesnake.
      F
When I was young and fever fell
     F
My spirit, I will not tell
          Bb                Gm
You’re on your honor not to tell


     F
I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
    F                                Bb
Explain the change, the difference between
                       Gm                   C
What you want and what you need, there’s the key,
                 Am
Your adventure for today, what do you do
    Bb                   C
Between the horns of the day?

 F  Fsus4  F  C      F  Fsus4 F   C F      Fsus4       C                Gm
I ---  I --------        I ----      believe      my shirt is wearing thin
                     Bb
And change is what I believe in

{same as before}
When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor, on your honor

When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You’re on your honor on your honor

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling’s true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make, practice practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change

I believe my humor’s wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

{break:  Dm  Bb  Dm  Bb  D  Bb  C}

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

When I was young and full of grace
As spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit, I will not tell
You’re on your honor, on your honor
 C
I believe in example
 Am
I believe my throat hurts
   Bb                         C
Example is the checker to the key

I believe my humor’s wearing thin
And I believe the poles are shifting

I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

End on Dm.
