Do Something
Matthew West

*It sounds best if played up the neck

VERSE 1
E
I woke up this morning 
Saw a world full of trouble now 
Thought, how?d we ever get so far down 
How?s it ever gonna turn around 
A
So I turned my eyes to Heaven 
                                E
I thought, ?God, why don?t You do something?? 


Well, I just couldn't bear the thought of 
People living in poverty 
Children sold into slavery 
The thought disgusted me 
So, I shook my fist at Heaven 
Said, ?God, why don?t You do something?? 

            B   A          E
He said, ?I did, I created you? 

CHORUS
E
If not us, then who 
If not me and you 
       A                       E
Right now, it?s time for us to do something 
If not now, then when 
Will we see an end 
            A
To all this pain 
                   C#m      A
It?s not enough to do nothing 
                      E
It?s time for us to do something 

VERSE 2
I?m so tired of talking 
About how we are God?s hands and feet 
But it?s easier to say than to be 
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves 
It?s alright, ?somebody else will do something? 

Well, I don?t know about you 
But I?m sick and tired of life with no desire 
I don?t want a flame, I want a fire 
I wanna be the one who stands up and says, 
?I?m gonna do something? 

(TO CHORUS)

BRIDGE
C#m
We are the salt of the earth
A                     E
We are a city on a hill 
C#m
But we?re never gonna change the world 
A            B
By standing still 
B
No we won?t stand still
No we won?t stand still 
No we won?t stand still

(TO CHORUS)
