This is the acoustic version of the song. The chords might transfer over to the 
album version but I have not verified it.

Intro: F C Am x3

F       C   Am
I saw a girl flip a stroller
F        C           Am     
That was holding her baby sister
F          C       Am
Her mother screamed and came runnin
F          C       Am     
I couldn't believe what I'd seen

        F     C       F      C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
        F     C       F      C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!

Repeat Intro

F         C  Am
There's a man on my corner
F        C       Am
He's been layin face down for days
F      C    Am
I don't walk by that corner
F       C         Am
When I go to work I walk another way

       F     C        F     C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
       F     C        F     C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
       F     C        F     C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!
       F     C        F     C     G
It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!

Chords after the little solo:
G  F  Am    G F Am G Am G

F       C    Am
I don't know just what you've done
F            C           Am
I probably couldn't believe what you've seen
F          C   Am
As we get older it gets clearer
F   C        Am
And I'm sure we could all agree

It's a cruel world, a cruel cruel world!

End on G with some cool strumming.
