#Intro: G G,Em Em,C C,G G,D D,Em Em,C C,G G

#Verse:
G G Em Em
Me and all my friends
C C G G
We're all misunderstood
D D Em Em
They say we stand for nothing and
C C G G
There's no way we ever could

G G Em Em
Now we see everything that's going wrong
C C G G
With the world and those who lead it
D D Em Em
We just feel like we don't have the means
C C G G
To rise above and beat it


#Chorus
G G Em Em
So we keep waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
D D Em Em
We keep on waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
G G Am Am
It's hard to beat the system
Em Em Am Am
When we're standing at a distance
D D Em Em
So we keep waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change


#Verse
G G Em Em
Now if we had the power
C C G G
To bring our neighbors home from war
D D Em Em
They would have never missed a Christmas
C C G G
No more ribbons on their door
G G Em Em
And when you trust your television
C C G G
What you get is what you got
D D Em Em
Cause when they own the information, oh
C C G G
They can bend it all they want

#Chorus
G G Em Em
So we keep waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
D D Em Em
We keep on waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
G G Am Am
It's hard to beat the system
Em Em Am Am
When we're standing at a distance
D D Em Em
So we keep waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change



D D Em Em
And we're still waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
D D Em Em
We keep on waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
G G Am Am
One day our generation
Em Em Am Am
Is gonna rule the population
D D Em Em
So we keep on waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
D D Em Em
We keep on waiting
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
C C G G
Waiting on the world to change
C C G G
#(This last strum pattern is C C: DDU, G G:D D)
Waiting on the world to change
