Chords
Just standard chords for the song.
I've been asked for strumming patterns, but it's fairly straightforward.
Simply put, I think that it's just strumming, and then right before each change in
chord, there's an accent on the off-beat.
[Intro]
D Bm G D
A Bm G D
[Verse]
D Bm G D Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood. A Bm G D They say we stand for nothin', and there's no way we ever could. D Bm G D Now we see everythin' that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it A Bm G D We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it.
[Chorus]
D Bm G D So we keep waitin', waitin' on the world to change. A Bm G D We keep on waitin', waitin' on the world to change. D Em Bm Em7 It's hard to beat the system, when you're standin' at a distance, A Bm G D So we keep waitin', waitin' on the world to change.
[Verse]
D Bm G D Now if we had the power to bring our neighbors home from war A Bm G D They would have never missed a Christmas, no more ribbons on their door D Bm G D And when you trust your television, what you get is what you got A Bm G D 'Cause when they own the information, oh, they can bend it all they want
[Chorus]
D Bm G D That's why we're waitin', waitin' on the world to change A Bm G D We keep on waitin', waitin' on the world to change D Em Bm Em7 It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair A Bm G D So we keep on waitin', waitin' on the world to change
