 D          Bm
Me and all my friends
       G                   D2
We're all misunderstood
      A           Bm
They say we stand for nothing and
           G           D2
There's no way we ever could

 D                     Bm
Now we see everything that's going wrong

           G               D2
With the world and those who lead it
        A             Bm
We just feel like we don't have the means
    G              D2
To rise above and beat it
          D       Bm
So we keep waiting
               G        D2
Waiting on the world to change
          A       Bm
We keep on waiting
               G        D2
Waiting on the world to change

      D             Em7
It's hard to beat the system
           Bm7           Em7
When we're standing at a distance
          A      Bm
So we keep waiting
                G        D2
Waiting on the world to change

    D             Bm
Now if we had the power
             G                        D2
To bring our neighbors home from war
                A              Bm
They would have never missed a christmas
        G               D2
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               D2
They can bend it all they want

                 D       Bm
That's why we're waiting
               G         D2
Waiting on the world to change
           A     Bm
We keep on waiting
               G               D2
Waiting on the world to change

      D                       Em7
It's not that we don't care,
         Bm7               Em7
We just know that the fight ain't fair
              A     Bm
So we keep on waiting
               G                D2
Waiting on the world to change
