Matthew West – Do Something (Guitar)

E
I woke up this morning

E
Saw a world full of trouble now

E
Thought, how’d we ever get so far down

E
How’s it ever gonna turn around

        A
So I turned my eyes to Heaven

A                               E
I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”

E
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of

E
People living in poverty

E
Children sold into slavery

E
The thought disgusted me

       A
So, I shook my fist at Heaven

A                          E
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”

E            F#m  A          E
He said, “I did, I created you”

E
If not us, then who

E
If not me and you

       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something

E
If not now, then when

E
Will we see an end

              A
To all this pain

A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing

                    E
It’s time for us to do something

E
I’m so tired of talking

E
About how we are God’s hands and feet

E
But it’s easier to say than to be

E                              A
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves

A                                 E
It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”

E
Well, I don’t know about you

E
But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire

E
I don’t want a flame, I want a fire

A
I wanna be the one who stands up and says,

A           E
“I’m gonna do something”

E
If not us, then who

E
If not me and you

       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something

E
If not now, then when

E
Will we see an end

              A
To all this pain

A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing

                    E
It’s time for us to do something

C#m                     A
We are the salt of the earth

A                    E
We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine)

C#m                                 A
But we’re never gonna change the world

              B
By standing still

                     B
No we won’t stand still

E
If not us, then who

E
If not me and you

       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something

E
If not now, then when

E
Will we see an end

              A
To all this pain

A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing

                    E
It’s time for us to do something
