D                   D                      C
I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth
      D                                    C
Like the Chinese call the country of their birth
D                                               C
We all figure that our homes, our homes are set above
D                                                C     D
Other people than the ones, the ones we know and love
   F                  Am
In every place with a name
     Am
They play the same territorial game
F                 C
Hiding behind the lines
F
Sending up warning signs


[Chorus]
C
The whole wide world

An endless universe
B
Yet we keep looking through

The eyeglass in reverse
      D
Don't feed the people

But we feed the machines
Bm
Can't really feel

What international means
C
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
Bm                                                        D
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round


[Verse 2]
   D                                   C
We see so many tribes overrun and undermined
D                                                C
While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind
    D                                  C
Better people, better food, and better beer
          D                                C      D
Why move around the world when Eden was so near?
    F                      C
The bosses get talking so tough
     Am
And if that wasn't evil enough
           C      F                    C
We get the drunken and passionate pride
        Am
Of the citizens along for the ride


[Chorus]
C
The whole wide world

An endless universe
B
Yet we keep looking through

The eyeglass in reverse
      D
Don't feed the people

But we feed the machines
Bm
Can't really feel

What international means
C
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
Bm                                                        D
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round


[Verse 3]
 Abmaj7                 Dm
They shoot without shame
Bb
In the name of a piece of dirt
                Dm
For a change of accent

Or the color of your shirt
Bb                            Dm
Better the pride that resides

In a citizen of the world
Bb                           Dm
Than the pride that divides
                               D F C Am
When a colorful rag is unfurled


[Chorus]
D
The whole wide world

An endless universe
Cm
Yet we keep looking through

The eyeglass in reverse
D
Don't feed the people

But we feed the machines
C#m
Can't really feel

What international means
D
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
C#m                                                        E
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round
