Em                       C
10,000 hours in anything makes you an expert
               G                                        D
And I've spent way more time than that frettin' over guys
           Em                    C
I've got a B.F.A., an M.F.A., a Ph.D. in obsession
    G                           D
And now I find myself wondering why

C                                    G
I could have used that time to cure leukemia
Am                                       G
I could have used that time to clean the seas
C                                           G
I could have taught some teens awareness of bulimia
Am                                         B
I could have saved the pandas, whales, and bees

        C     D                Bm   Em
Without love, you can save the world
 C              D             Bm    Em
Put those hours to good use instead
        C     D                Bm    Em
Without love, you can save the world
     Am                  D
Sing out, branch out, get out of your own head

Em
Hey, guys!

Em
Peace!

Em
Peace and love!

Em
But not love

Em                      C
Love's a real time suck, it really gets your mind stuck
   G                                     D
On things that later on, you'll be like, "Why?"
      Em                     C
Like when's he gonna text or when will I see him next?

      G                               B
Then suddenly the lakes have all gone dry

And it's all your fault!

 C            D                Bm
Without love, you can save the world

Em
Save the world!

 C                  D                 Bm
Clear space in your brain for better things

Em
Better things!
C             D                Bm     Em
Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
Am                          D
Not being tied to a bed can really give you wings

D#
Conserve your mental energy

A#
To research conserving energy

F
Don't raise hell

F
Raise money for local schools

C
Now that you've got time

D#
Take the leash off your hog

A#
And use that leash to walk rescue dogs

F
Love is blind

F
But without love

 D
You can actually help the blind

E
It's an asexual utopia!
D             E                C#m    F#m
Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
D                   E                        C#m    F#m
Forget who you did, think about what you can do (what you can do!)
D             E                 C#m    F#m
Without love, you can save the world (save the world!)
Bm
Change doesn't start with him, change starts with you
E               A   G  D   Dm
It starts with you!
              A   G   D   Dm
Not who you screw (not who you screw!)
                A   G   D   Dm
It starts with you!
         A
Without love
