Just standard chords for the song.

I've Been Asked for strumming Patterns, but its fairly straight forward. 
Simply Put, I think that its just strumming, and then right before each change in 
chord, there's an accent on the off-beat.


Intro: D               Bm            G             D 

       A               Bm            G             D

D               Bm            G             D       
Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood.

      A                  Bm                    G            D
They say we stand for nothing, and theres no way we ever could.

               D             Bm                   G                   D
Now we see everything thats going wrong with the world and those who lead it

         A                  Bm                G              D
We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it.

              D        Bm                      G        D
So we keep waiting,          waiting on the world to change.

              A        Bm                      G        D
We keep on waiting,           waiting on the world to change.

       D                G                    Bm            G
It's hard to beat the system, when you're standing at a distance,

              A         Bm                     G        D
So we keep waiting,           waiting on the world to change.

      D                     Bm                    G                 D
Now  if  we  had    the   power  to bring our neighbors home from war

                  A              Bm                 G                 D
They would have never missed a Christmas, No more ribbons on their door

               D           Bm                 G               D
And when you trust your television, What you get is what you got

                  A            Bm                  G                D
Cause when they own the information, oh, They can bend it all they want
  
                   D        Bm                    G           D
That's why we're waiting         Waiting on the world to change

              A      Bm                  G            D
We keep on waiting       Waiting on the world to change

       D                G              Bm                G
It's not that we don't care, We just know that the fight ain't fair

              A         Bm                  G        D
So we keep on waiting        Waiting on the world to change
