[Verse 1]

A               E                
Oh, it's not a perfect world 
       A
Anyone can plainly see
                E               B
Pick up a newspaper Turn on the T.V.
A               E            
Was a war out in the desert Got 
                A
riots in the streets
                        E      
Got mothers living in cardboard 
             B                    E
boxes Their kids with nothing to eat


[Chorus]

          A                     
This must be the best possible 
C#m        E        A
world Cause it bore you
                 E                 
Evolved from the dust And formed of
  A            B
 nature's Holy Rules
          A             C#m       
This must be the best possible 
     E             A
world Cause there you are
                E       A         
Shining like a diamond Burning 
     E
like a star

A               E                
Oh, the lion kills the lamb And 
       A
the hunter kills the lion
                E               B
Death takes the hunter And returns 
him to the ground
A               E                
Sometimes I just don't know What 
            A
it all means And then I see your 
pretty face
            E               B     
See our two young children 
               E
Carrying on the race


[Chorus]

          A                     
This must be the best possible 
C#m        E        A
world Just the way it is
                E                  
With its war and poverty Agony and 
B
bliss
A               E                
It must be the best possible 
                A
world Cause here we are all
                E       A         
Shining like diamonds Burning like
     E
 stars

[Verse 3]

A        E                       
Some say heaven's a place so far 
                       A
away Can't get there until you die
                      E            
But I think heaven's going on right
                     B
 here And that we're all divine
A                       E        
Sometimes when we're at bed at 
         A
night I'll hold you tight
                          E        
And listen to your steady breathing
       B             E
 As I wait for first light


[Chorus]

          A                     
This must be the best possible 
C#m        E           A
world Cause here we all are
You and the kids sleeping like 
E                                
angels But there's demons in the 
B
yard
A                       E        
But me I'll hold watch every 
                       A
night a footsoldier in the moonlight
                E                 
So far fortune's smiled on us And 
A                E
everything's all right
