John Mayer – Waiting On The World To Change   (Album: Continuum (2006))

[D  Bm  G  D /    A  Bm  G  D]

Me and all my friends                We’re all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing and     There’s no way we ever could

Now we see everything that’s going wrong With the world and those who lead it

We just feel like we don’t have the means To rise above and beat it

So we keep …

C:     Waiting (waiting)     Waiting on the world to change

        We keep on waiting (waiting)   Waiting on the world to change

      D                Em7                  Bm             Em7

It’s hard to beat the system        When we’re standing at a distance

So we keep waiting (waiting)      Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power    To bring our neighbors home from war

They would have never missed a Christmas       No more ribbons on their door

And when you trust your television     What you get is what you got

‘Cos when they own the information ohhh, They can bend it all they want

That’s why we’re

Chorus

      D                Em7                   Bm              Em7

It’s not that we don’t care,         We just know that the fight ain’t fair

So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change

Bridge:    Dm  G7  F

D  Bm  G  D   A  Bm  G  D (x2)

And we’re still waiting (waiting)   Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting (waiting)              Waiting on the world to change

    D             Em7          Bm           Em7

One day our generation Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change

So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change

So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change
