C#  A#m7  F#  C#  G#  A#m7  F#  C#


[Verse 1]
C#               A#m7
  Me and all my friends
      F#          C#
We're all misunderstood
     G#               A#m7
They say we stand for nothing and
           F#          C#
There's no way we ever could
          C#                 A#m7
Now we see everything that's going wrong
         F#                  C#
With the world and those who lead it
        G#                 A#m7
We just feel like we don't have the means
   F#             C#
To rise above and beat it


[Chorus]
           C#     A#m7
So we keep waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change
           G#     A#m7
We keep on waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change

     C#               D#m
It's hard to beat the system
           A#m7          D#m
When we're standing at a distance
           G#     A#m7
So we keep waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change


[Verse 2]
    C#            A#m7
Now if we had the power
             F#                  C#
To bring our neighbors home from war
                G#             A#m7
They would have never missed a Christmas
        F#               C#
No more ribbons on their door
             C#            A#m7
But when you trust your television
         F#              C#
What you get is what you got
                  G#           A#m7
Because when they own the information, oh
         F#               C#
They can bend it all they want


[Chorus]
                 C#    A#m7
That's why we're waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change
           G#     A#m7
We keep on waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change

     C#                D#m7
It's not that we don't care
        A#m7                      D#m7
We just know that the fight isn't fair
              G#     A#m7
So we keep on waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change


[Interlude]
C#  A#m7  F#  C#  G#  A#m7  F#  C#


[Chorus]
        C#     A#m7
We keep waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change
           G#     A#m7
We keep on waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change

    C#           D#m7
One day our generation
            A#m7         D#m7
Is going to rule the population
              G#     A#m7
So we keep on waiting
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change
               G#       A#m7
Waiting on the world to change
               F#       C#
Waiting on the world to change
