E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
Ain’t got a soapbox I can stand upon but God gave me a stage, a guitar and a song
E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
My daddy told me, son, don’t you get involved in politics, religions, other peoples’ quotes

We could change this whole world with a piano, add a bass some guitar, grab a beat and away we go
E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
I’m just a boy with a one-man show, no university, no degree, but Lord knows
E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
Everybody’s talking ’bout exponential growth, and the stock market crashing in their portfolios
E D#m C#m
While I’ll be sitting here with a song that I wrote
B A G#m A B
Sing, love could change the world in a moment, but what do I know?
E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
Mm-mm-mmm, mm-mm-mmm, mm-mm-mmm, love can change the world in a moment, but what do I know?

The revolution’s coming, it’s a minute away, I saw people marching in the streets today
E D#m C#m B A G#m A B
You know we are made up of love and hate but both of them are balanced on a razor blade
