The Problem

         G
There's got to be some reason for all this misery
                            Em7
A secret evil corporation somewhere over seas
          C2
They're pulling strings, arranging things
     D            G
It's a conspiracy


    G
Or what about the ones who shape the course of history
                               Em7
What if we petitioned for one grand apology
       C2
I'll write to my prime minister
      D            Em    D/B  Em7
You write your president

CHORUS:
  C2                           Em7
Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way
    C2                               Em7
If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain
      D
It's not the age old mystery we've made it out to be
                  C2               Em7
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
          C2              D       G | G | G | Em7 | Em7 |
And the problem with the world is me

VERSE 2:
     G
Oh, some will say the devil and his legions
                                Em7
They put us in a headlock of submission
             C2
But they've lost all power over me
   D                G
A long, long time ago

      G
And since I was a kid, you know i've caused alot of hurt
     Em7
And no one ever taught me to put myself first
    C2
It came so very naturally
         D         Em | D/B | Em7
But i'm not a prodigy


CHORUS:
  C2                           Em7
Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way
    C2                               Em7
If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain
      D
It's not the age old mystery we've made it out to be
                  C2               Em7
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
          C2              D       G
And the problem with the world is me

BRIDGE:
   C2                               Em7
So I will look no further than the mirror
         C2                  G
That's where the offender hides
     C2                     Em7
So great is my need for a redeemer
          G
That I cannot trust myself
       C2
No, I cannot trust myself
       Em7                 D
No, I dare not trust myself
                           G
So i'll trust in someone else


CHORUS:
  C2                           Em7
Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way
    C2                               Em7
If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain
      D
It's not the age old mystery we've made it out to be
                  C2               Em7
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
          C2              D       G
And the problem with the world is me

ENDING:
      G
The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song
     Em7
The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song
     G                                                        D/F#
The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song
Em7
The happier we'll be
       D
The happier we'll be

       G
The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song
      Em7
The happier we'll be

The problem with the world is me
