Intro: G  B  Em  Em  

G                  B          Em 
Planet Earth is slowing down overseas, underground 
G        B                       Em 
        Wherever you look around 
G           B            Em 
Lord, take me by the hand, lead me through these desert sands 
G            B                    Em 
      To the shores of a promised land 

G   B    C   F     G   B                Em 
You make me start    when you look into my heart 
G        B                C 
     And see me for who I really am 


      G                  B     C          F 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 


(second Verse: still the same)  
 G  B  Em 
I didn't care if the sun didn't shine and the rain didn't fall from the sky 
         I just cared about myself 
From this world to the next and from the next back to this 
        By our actions we are bound 
We're running out of love, running out of hate, running out of space for the human race 
        Planet Earth is slowing down 

G   B    C   F     G           B           Em 
You make me cry      when you look into my eyes 
G        B                C 
       And see me for who I really am 

(the entire rest of the song is the same four chords) 
G B C F 

      G                  B     C          F 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
If you can't change your world, change yourself 
And if you can't change yourself then change your world 

I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on 
I can't stop, I can't stop thinking of 
All the people I've ever loved 
All the people I have lost 
All the people I'll never know 
All the feelings I've never shown. 

The world's too big and life's too short 
The world's too big and life's too short 
The world's too big and life's too short 
To be alone, to be alone
