G
There's got to be some reason for all this misery
Em
A secret evil corporation somewhere overseas
C
They're pulling strings, arranging things
D G
It's a conspiracy
G
Or what about the ones who shape the course of history?
Em
What if we petitioned for one grand apology?
C
I'll write to my prime minister
Em
You, write your president
C Em
Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way
C Em
If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain
D
It's not the age-old mystery we made it out to be
C Em
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
C D G
And the problem with the world is me
G
Some will say the devil and his legions
Em
They put us in a headlock of submission
C
But they lost all power over me
D G
A long, long time ago
G
And since I was a kid you know I've caused a lot of hurt
Em
And no one ever taught me how to put myself first
C
It came so very naturally
Em
But I'm not a prodigy
C Em
So I will look no further than a mirror
C G
That's where the offender hides
C Em
So great is my need for a redeemer
G
That I cannot trust myself
C
No, I cannot trust myself
Em D
I dare not trust myself
G
So I trust in someone else
G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
Em D
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
Em D
The happier we'll be, the happier we'll be
G
The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song
Em
The happier we'll be
C D G
The problem with the world is me
