D                 A                      D
This world's in trouble, you know it's true,
D                 G                     D
But who has the answers to help us get through.
D                 A                     Bm  F#m  G
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn,
G                 D        A                 D
The press gives coverage, and the world goes on.

D                 A            G          D
This song won't stop the world from goin' round,
D                  A              E           A
Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound.
A                      D                      G
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two.
G                     D      A                D
No, it can't stop the world, but it might stop you.

 D            A                   D
The radio's blastin', the music's loud.
D              G                    D
A message is given to a face in the crowd.
D                A                Bm  F#m  G
By a prophet of music, a poet of song,
G             D      A                  D
The truth is spoken, and the world goes on.

D             A             G          D
A song can't stop the world from goin' round,
D                 A             E           A
This song won't stop the world from being unsound.
A                      D                      G
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two.
G                      D     A                G
No, it can't stop the world, but it might stop you.
G                      D     A                G  D
No, it can't stop the world, but it might stop you.
