      nation bleedin     still no feedin - don't count on me.

Em/ //             G/ //
      Life is funny     skies are sunny
Am/ //               C/ // B/   /          Riff 1
      bees make honey     who needs money? - no more for me.

[Chorus]

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do.
Riff 1                         Riff 1
           So I leave it up to you.
