Intro
| [D] [Bm7] | [G] [D] |
| [A] [Bm7] | [G] [D] |
| [D] Me and all my [Bm7] friends, we're | [G] all misunder- [D] stood.
They | [A] say we stand for [Bm7] nothing, and there's no | [G] way we ever [D] could.
Now we see | [D] everything that's going [Bm7] wrong with the | [G] world and those who [D] lead it
We just | [A] feel like we don't [Bm7] have the means to | [G] rise above and [D] beat it.
Chorus
So we keep | [D] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
We keep on | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
It's | [D] hard to beat the [Em] system, when you're | [Bm7] standing at a [Em] distance,
So we keep | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
Now | [D] if we had the [Bm7] power to bring our | [G] neighbors home from [D] war
They would have | [A] never missed a [Bm7] Christmas, no more | [G] ribbons on their [D] door
And when you | [D] trust your tele- [Bm7] vision, what you | [G] get is what you [D] got
Cause when they | [A] own the infor- [Bm7] mation, oh they can | [G] bend it all they [D] want
Chorus
So we keep | [D] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
We keep on | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
It's | [D] not that we don't [Em] care, we just | [Bm7] know that the fight ain't [Em] fair
So we keep | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]

Chorus
Oh we're still | [D] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
We keep on | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
One | [D] day our gene- [Em] ration is gonna | [Bm7] rule the popu- [Em] lation
So we keep on | [A] waiting [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change [D]
You know we keep on | [A] waiting [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change [D]
We keep on | [A] waiting, [Bm7] (waiting) waiting on the | [G] world to change. [D]
