[Bbm] The world is in a rough road, [Ab] yeah
Countries, [Bbm] oh, they just talking about war
People is [Eb] starving
[Bbm]
I [Bbm] don't think, I don't think the crisis is going down anymore
If it [Fm] wasn't for this, and it [Gb] wasn't for that
Oh, this would be a better [Ab] world
[Bbm] If it [Ab] wasn't for this, [Fm] and [Gb] it wasn't for that
I'm sure this would be a [Fm] better [Ebm] world
If we [Fm] [Gb] learned to love each [Fm]
[Ebm] other
Oh, and [Fm] [Gb] imagine living like sisters and [Fm] brothers
[Ebm] A peaceful [Fm] world [Gb] this would [F] be
If the [Ab] great [F] thing were to [Eb] see
[Bbm] If it wasn't [Ab] for this, and it wasn't [Gb] for that
Oh, this would be a better world
[Ab]
[Bbm] If it wasn't [Ab] for this, and it wasn't [Gb] for that
I'm sure this would be a better [Fm] world

[Bbm] [Ab] Sometimes [F] I wonder
Oh, I wonder if
Oh, [C] if, if, [Bbm] if it's strong enough to change this world
I'd like to say it one [Gb] more time, yes
Oh, if it's a tiny word [Bbm] to say
[Ab] Oh, but sometimes I wonder [F] if it's strong enough
Oh, if it's [Bbm] strong enough to change this world
If [Ebm] we [Fm] learned [Gb] to love each [Db] other
[Ebm] Learned [Fm] [Gb] to live like sisters [Fm] and [Ebm] brothers
A [Fm] peaceful [Gb] world this would be
Oh, [F] let me [Ab] tell you this
So [F] baby, what you [Ab] see
[Gb] Oh, if
[Db] [Ebm] [Ab] we were to [F] make it strong enough
Strong enough to [Bbm] change this world

[Db] [Ab]
