[Intro]
E5   G    C                  F#5
In a world where people have problems

E5      G    C                F#5
In this world where decisions are a way of life

E5    G        C              F#5
Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind

E5       G
They say compassion is a virtue,

C                   F#5
but I don't have the time
[Interlude] F#5 C G X3 [Verse 1]
F#5     C                 G
So many people have their problems

F#5     C                   G
I'm not interested in their problems

F#5      C                    G
I guess I've experienced some problems

F#5      C             G
But now I've made some decisions and

F#5
It takes a lot of time to push away the

G
nonsense

C       F#5                              G
Take my compassion, push it as far as it goes

C      F#5          G         C           F#5
My interest level's dropping, my interest level

   G
is dropping

F#5                         G
I've heard all I want to and I don't want

C
to hear any more
[Interlude] F#5 C G x2 [Verse 2]
F#5           C                 G
What are you, in love with your problems?

F#5         C                    G
I think you take it a little too far

F#5            C                 G
It's not so cool to have so many problems

F#5             C                  G
But don't expect me to explain your indecisions

F#5
Go talk to your analyst, isn't that what

      G
they're paid for?

C         F#5            G
You walk, you talk, you still function like
you used to
C            F#5                   G
It's not a question of your personality or
style
C            F#5                          G
Be a little more selfish, it might do you some
good [Interlude] F#5 C G X2 [Chorus]
E5   G     C                 F#5
In a world where people have problems

E5      G     C              F#5
In this world where decisions are a way of life

E5     G       C               F#5
Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind

E5       G
They say compassion is a virtue,

C                     F#5
but I don't have the time
N.c Here we go again [Outro] F#5 C G X3
