 D	    Bm
me and all my friends
       G	           D
we're all misunderstood
      A           Bm
they say we stand for nothing and
	   G           D
there's no way we ever could

 D	               Bm
now we see everything that's going wrong
           G 		   D
with the world and those who lead it
	A   	      Bm
we just feel like we don't have the means
    G              D
to rise above and beat it

       D       Bm      G   D        A   Bm       G   D

      	  D       Bm
so we keep waiting
   	       G        D
waiting on the world to change
	  A       Bm
we keep on waiting
	       G        D
waiting on the world to change

      D     	    Em
it's hard to beat the system
	   Bm           Em
when we're standing at a distance
	  A	 Bm
so we keep waiting
                G        D
waiting on the world to change

    D             Bm
now if we had the power
     	     G            	      D
to bring our neighbors home from war
	        A              Bm
they would have never missed a Christmas
	G	        D
no more ribbons on their door

	     D             Bm
and when you trust your television
	 G 	       D
what you get is what you got
	        A	           Bm
cause when they own the information, oh
	 G               D
they can bend it all they want

                 D       Bm
that's why we're waiting
	       G         D
waiting on the world to change
   	   A 	 Bm
we keep on waiting
	       G	       D
waiting on the world to change

      D  	              Em
it's not that we don't care,
 	 Bm		  Em
we just know that the fight ain't fair
	      A	    Bm
so we keep on waiting
	       G	        D
waiting on the world to change
