A                     F
 Heard a sermon from a creaky pulpit
 G                       C G D E2
 With no one in the nave
 A                     F
 I paid a visit to the synagog and
 G                          C G D E2
 I left there feeling blame
 F2           G2              A
 No one could tell me what to do
 F                             D      E2
 They have not the capacity to answer me
 A              G     A E         A              G     F   G
 What the world needs now is some answers to our problems
 A            G    A E             A            G    F  G
 We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid
 A            G     A  E         A               G   F  G
 If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity
        F               F           G                   A
 But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more
 A                                  F      
 Watched the relentists throw their hands 
                    G                   C G D E2    
 Conceding progress will resolve it all
 A                                         F
 Saw the the manufacturers of earth's chloric 
                G                 C G D E2
 Ignore another green peace call
 F2           G2              A
 No one could tell me what to do
 F                            D      E2
 They have not the ability to answer me
 A              G     A E         A         G     F   G
 What the world needs now is some accountability
 A            G    A E             A    G                     F  G
 We can't buy more time 'cause our time won't accept our money
 A            G     A  E         A              G   F  G
 If your soul needs love you can always have my pity
        F               F           G                   A
 But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more
