Intro:  C 

verse 1 
            C 
Don't give up 
       Am/G      F 
I know you can see 
C             Am/G                    F 
All the world and the mess that we're making 
            C 
Can't give up 
         Am/G     F 
And hope God will intercede 
        Fmaj7/D 
Come on back 

Imagine that 
Fmaj7 
We could get it together 
C     Am/G 
Stand up 
          F 
For what we need to be 
        C            Am/G    F 
cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child 
           C 
Can't lay down and 
         Am/G             F 
Wait for some miracle to change things 
         Fmaj7/D             Fmaj7 
So, lift up your eyes, lift up your heart

C      Am/G         F 
Mercy, will we overcome this? 
C      Am/G           F

verse 2 
F              C       Am/G 
Me and you and you and you 
              F 
Just want to be free yeah yeah 
C       Am/G 
But you see 
F                                Fmaj7/D 
All the world is just as we have made it 
                      Fmaj7 
And until we've got a new world 

I got to say that 
C             Am/G         F 
Love is not a whisper or a weakness 
    C        Am/G 
No, love is strong 
       F 
Now we got to get it together, yeah 
C           Am/G        F 
Got to get, got to get, got to get 
               Fmaj7/D    Fmaj7 
Until there is no reason
