D (A)                                 
I changed the sheets on my bed today
G (D)                                           D (A)
shaking off the memories of our lost love
D (A)                                            
Your smile flies off the sheets, across the room
         G (D)                                  Gm (Dm)             D (A)
like a wing-torn butterfly and becomes the air that I breathe

Chorus 	D (A)                                 G (D)
Changed, I changed my mind  
D (A)                                         G (D)
Changed, you changed your love
D (A)                                      G (D)
Changed, We changed our lives
Em (Bm)                             A (E)
Changed, memories can't die

D (A)                                      G (D)                    D (A)
I hold my breath, not wanting to take in the bitter taste of our lost love
D (A)
My laughter, my belly rolling laughter
        G (D)               Gm (Dm)                             D (A)
Your gift to me, lies crumpled on the floor, like a hurt child   (Chorus)

           Bm (F#m)                                              A (E)
Bridge 	"Open your heart," they told me.  "Open wide and receive,"
 G (D)                          Gm (Dm)                                     D (A)
Receive what?  I wonder, as I spread out the fresh sheet like a clean slate, 
        G (D)                             Gm (Dm)                  D (A)
and make an effort to smooth out the wrinkles of my disappointment    (Chorus)

D (A)                                  
I changed the sheets on my bed today
G (D)                    Gm (Dm)        D (A)
shaking off the memories of our lost love

 Hi Susie,  I am so glad that my poetry moved you the other nite.  It is one of my best poems so far, I feel.  So, here it is and I know that it will make a beautiful song!

Very nice tune. The instruments make a nice, melodic open space for the wonderful words. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing!

"Changed..."
Sweet and mellow song. Love the melody and your vocals. This harkens back to some of the sixties and seventies music. Very much enjoyed.

An enjoyable listen. I write classical music, but I do love folk. I like the repeated ostinato in the guitar, as well as the middle eight. I would like it a little faster, myself. I know you are doing this on a 'home studio', but some suggestions - bump up the mix on the guitar and the bass and add more reverb. Cheers...
