Key:
E5 G C F#5 In a world where people have problems
E5 G C F#5 In this world where decisions are a way of life
E5 G C F#5 Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind
E5 G They say compassion is a virtue,
C F#5 but I don't have the time [Interlude]
F#5 C G X3 [Verse 1]
F#5 C G So many people have their problems
F#5 C G I'm not interested in their problems
F#5 C G I guess I've experienced some problems
F#5 C G But now I've made some decisions and
F#5 It takes a lot of time to push away the
G nonsense
C F#5 G Take my compassion, push it as far as it goes
Continues after the ad
C F#5 G C F#5 My interest level's dropping, my interest level
G is dropping
F#5 G I've heard all I want to and I don't want
C to hear any more [Interlude] F#5 C G x2 [Verse 2]
F#5 C G What are you, in love with your problems?
F#5 C G I think you take it a little too far
F#5 C G It's not so cool to have so many problems
F#5 C G But don't expect me to explain your indecisions
F#5 Go talk to your analyst, isn't that what
G they're paid for?
C F#5 G You walk, you talk, you still function like you used to
C F#5 G It's not a question of your personality or style
C F#5 G Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good [Interlude]
F#5 C G X2 [Chorus]
E5 G C F#5 In a world where people have problems
E5 G C F#5 In this world where decisions are a way of life
E5 G C F#5 Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind
E5 G They say compassion is a virtue,
C F#5 but I don't have the time N.c Here we go again
