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!
