         G
There's got to be some reason for all this misery
                           Em
A secret evil corporation somewhere overseas
         C
They're pulling strings, arranging things
         D       G
It's a conspiracy
     G
Or what about the ones who shape the course of history?
                                        Em
What if we petitioned for one grand apology?
        C
I'll write to my prime minister
                     Em
You, write your president

C                                  Em
Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way
   C                                        Em
If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain
     D
It's not the age-old mystery we made it out to be
                 C                 Em
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
          C                 D           G
And the problem with the world is me
G
Some will say the devil and his legions
                                 Em
They put us in a headlock of submission
          C
But they lost all power over me
               D     G
A long, long time ago

     G
And since I was a kid you know I've caused a lot of hurt
                                      Em
And no one ever taught me how to put myself first
    C
It came so very naturally
                   Em
But I'm not a prodigy

      C                             Em
So I will look no further than a mirror
         C                   G
That's where the offender hides
     C                        Em
So great is my need for a redeemer
         G
That I cannot trust myself
         C
No, I cannot trust myself
   Em                     D
I dare not trust myself
                          G
So I trust in someone else

       G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
       Em                                                     D
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
       G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
       Em                               D
The happier we'll be, the happier well be

        G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
       Em
The happier we'll be
      C                D                         G
The problem with the world is me
