[Verse]
G#m       F#
 As I run through this life

G#m                     F#
 Sometimes it breaks my heart

G#m               F#
 Seein' old people goin' downtown

G#m                             F#
Stumblin' their way through the dark

G#m       F#
And the little babies cry

G#m                     F#
For their mothers' warmth

G#m                     F#
Sometimes I feel so helpless

G#m                     F#
I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation

      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'

    E
The face of the nation

        F#
I don't recognize it no more

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

[Verse]
G#m       F#
So many lonely people

G#m                     F#
Damn those broken dreams

G#m       F#
Oh yes it could be better

G#m                     F#
You can say that about anything

G#m       F#
Some got it worse than me

G#m                     F#
Some got it worse than you

G#m       F#
You see the people starvin' underneath the tree

G#m                     F#
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule
[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation

      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'

    E
The face of the nation

        F#
I don't recognize it no more

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
[Bridge]
G#m                     F#
You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin'

G#m           F#
To put things right

G#m           F#
If only for me and you

G#m                     F#
Cause the devil sleeps tonight
[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation

      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'

    E
The face of the nation

        F#
I don't recognize it no more

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

        E
And the face of the nation

      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'

    E
The face of the nation

        F#
I don't recognize it no more

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
