Capo: 5th fret 
 
INTRO: C5 G5 A5 D5 

G5
  Don't wanna read the paper 
E5
 I don't like bad news 
A5
 Last night a man got shot 
   D5
Outside the house of blues 
G5
  I'd like to ignore it 
E5
 I'd like to just pretend 
A5
 That the reason for it 
             D5
Is something I can comprehend 
G5
  I don't listen to the radio 
     E5
Last time it made me cry 
A5
 Two boys went crazy 
D5
  Fifteen kids died 
G5
  And I don't know there familys 
        E5
I don't ask them how there going 
             A5
There on the other side of the world 
        D5
But its way to close to home 
 C5
I got something to say 
                 G5
And I thought it might be worth a mention 
        A5
If your not pissed off at the world 
          D5
Then your just not payin' attention 
C5
 You can turn off the TV 
G5
 And go about your day 
A5
 but just cause you don't see it 
         D5
It don't mean it's gone away, hey  
 
INTRO 
   G5
We don't talk to our neighbours 
            E5
They've got funny colored skin 
A5
 We see 'em out on the sidewalk 
       D5
But we don't invite 'em in 
G5
 We only eat when were hungry 
       E5
And we throw the rest away 
      A5
While babys in Cambodia 
    D5
Are starvin' everyday 
   G5
We risk our lives, we hit our wives 
       E5
We act like everything is funny 
   A5
We hide our pain while we go insane 
   D5
We sell our souls for money 
   G5
We curse our mums, we build our bombs 
   E5
We make our children cry 
   A5
We watched the band while Vietnam 
     D5
Just watched their children die 
 
CHORUS 
 C5 G5         A5  D5
 It won't go away   
             C5       G5
It won't go awaaaaaay  
             A5                                  D5
It won't go away, it won't go away, it won't go away 
             C5        G5
It won't go awaaaaaay   
             A5                                  D5
It won't go away, it won't go away, it won't go away 
            C5   G5 A5 D5
Make it go away
