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
