John Cale
"Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you to make those improvisations successful most of the time."

Train    entering the city -

 | D9        | D9                | Am7/G | Am7/G
I lost myself    and never come back

      | D9                  | D9                | Am7/G | Am7/G
Took a trip around the world    and never came back

| D9                                  | D9            | Am7/G | Am7/G
Black silhouettes, crisscrossed tracks;   never came back

          Forever changed;

| Bb | C         | D       | D
          forever changed.

You might think I'm frivolous, uncaring and cold
You might think I'm frivolous - depends on your point of view
Society And who paints and records them - the high and the low
I left my all life behind me and never went back

Forever changed, forever changed

Got to get to the city - get a job
Got to get some work to see me through
My old life's disappearing from view
Hong Kong - and I was changed
Burma and India - and I was changed
Only art to see me through
Only heart to see me through
My old life disappearing from my view
Brigid and Pat - please see me through
The whole thing quickly receding
My life disappearing - disappearing from view

Forever changed, forever changed

I left my old life behind and was forever changed
Forever changed
