Bm            E                  A
Now that I've lost ev'rything to you,

            D                       G
You say you want to start something new,

         Em                       F#
And it's breakin' my heart you're leaving,

F#
Baby, I'm grievin'.
[Verse 2]
Bm               E                A
But if you wanna leave, take good care,

           D                            G
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,

           Em                      F#      A      G  F#m  E D
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
[Chorus]
D   A                  G
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,

A                G              D     D
It's hard to get by just upon a smile,

D   A                  G
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,

A             G                 D      E  F#
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
[Verse 3]
Bm                   E                         A
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do,

         D                    G
And it's breakin' my heart in two,

          Em                    F#
Because I never want to see you sad girl,

F#
Don't be bad girl.
[Verse 4]

I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,

           Em                      F#      A      G  F#m  E D
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
[Chorus]
D   A                  G
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,

A                G              D
It's hard to get by just upon a smile,

D   A                  G
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,

A             G                 D      E  F#
I'll always remember you like a child, girl.

           Em                          F#     A      G  F#m  E D
But just remember there's a lot of bad air, beware.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

     G                  D
(Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world),

D   A                  G
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world,

A                G              D*
It's hard to get by just upon a smile.
