[Verse 1]
  D                   D                      C
I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth

      D                                    C
Like the Chinese call the country of their birth

D                                               C
We all figure that our homes, our homes are set above

D                                                C     D
Other people than the ones, the ones we know and love

   F                  Am
In every place with a name

     Am
They play the same territorial game

F                 C
Hiding behind the lines

F
Sending up warning signs
[Chorus]
C
The whole wide world
An endless universe
B
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
      D
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Bm
Can't really feel
What international means
C
In different circles, we keep holding our ground

Bm                                                        D
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round
[Verse 2]
   D                                   C
We see so many tribes overrun and undermined

D                                                C
While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind

    D                                  C
Better people, better food, and better beer

          D                                C      D
Why move around the world when Eden was so near?

    F                      C
The bosses get talking so tough

     Am
And if that wasn't evil enough

           C      F                    C
We get the drunken and passionate pride

        Am
Of the citizens along for the ride
[Chorus]
C
The whole wide world
An endless universe
B
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
      D
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Bm
Can't really feel
What international means
C
In different circles, we keep holding our ground

Bm                                                        D
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round
[Verse 3]
 Abmaj7                 Dm
They shoot without shame

Bb
In the name of a piece of dirt

                Dm
For a change of accent
Or the color of your shirt
Bb                            Dm
Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Bb                           Dm
Than the pride that divides

                               D F C Am
When a colorful rag is unfurled
[Chorus]
D
The whole wide world
An endless universe
Cm
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
D
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
C#m
Can't really feel
What international means
D
In different circles, we keep holding our ground

C#m                                                        E
Indifferent circles, we keep spinning round and round and round
