[Verso 1]
 
 C# 
I bought a product they should not have sold 
  C# 
I called the help line 
  C# 
They put me on hold 
 F# 
I've been waiting for an hour 
 F# 
Now my phone's losing power 
         C# 
And I'm gonna explode 
          F# 
I hear, "How may I help you today?" 
 F# 
I know a very rude answer 
  F# 
But I'm wondering, hey 


[Refrão]

         C#                       F# 
What if everybody talked like my friend Jesus? 
     C#                    F# 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus 
     C#                     F# 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus 
         D#                      F# 
It would give the world a new beginning 
         D#                     F# 
What if this is like an early inning? 


[Verso 2]

 C# 
I state my business; 
 C# 
She puts me on hold 
 C# 
I'm back to thinking; 
 C# 
I'm gonna explode 
         F# 
And the dog wants dinner 
          F# 
And the music they're playing 
           C# 
Is the sound-track of hell 
            F# 
You say, "Two wrongs don't make a right?" 
  F# 
Just try listening to Celine Dion all night 


[Refrão]

        C#                      F# 
But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F# 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F# 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus 
       D#                  F# 
If we want to mend world relations 
       D#                    F# 
Surely I can show a little patience

 D#m                                        A# 
I've been waiting around for this world to change 
A#                                     F# 
Another day cut loose, another lame excuse 
 F#                                         G# 
I've got the why and how to start here and now... 
             C#                 F# 
...Then my cellphone drops the call 
       C#               F# 
...And I spew out vitriol 
             C#                     F#                   D#                      F# 
...And as my fist goes through the wall, a voice says, "Be the change you wanna see!"

        C#                      F# 
But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F# 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F# 
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus 
         D#                     F# 
What a changed world this could be 
        C#                      F# 
But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F# 
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus 
     C#                      F#

          D#                          F#                 C# 
Starting now, Maybe I can start the change in me
