G There's got to be some reason for all this misery Em A secret evil corporation somewhere overseas C They're pulling strings, arranging things D G It's a conspiracy G Or what about the ones who shape the course of history? Em What if we petitioned for one grand apology? C I'll write to my prime minister Em You, write your president C Em Everybody's wondering how the world could get this way C Em If God is good, and how it could be filled with so much pain D It's not the age-old mystery we made it out to be C Em Yeah, there's a problem with the world C D G And the problem with the world is me G Some will say the devil and his legions Em They put us in a headlock of submission C But they lost all power over me D G A long, long time ago G And since I was a kid you know I've caused a lot of hurt Em And no one ever taught me how to put myself first C It came so very naturally Em But I'm not a prodigy C Em So I will look no further than a mirror C G That's where the offender hides C Em So great is my need for a redeemer G That I cannot trust myself C No, I cannot trust myself Em D I dare not trust myself G So I trust in someone else G The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song Em D The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song G The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song Em D The happier we'll be, the happier we?ll be G The sooner you can sing along, The sooner you can sing this song Em The happier we'll be C D G The problem with the world is me
