This progression repeats through the whole song: F#m, A, F#m, E
The first 4-- verses, or stanzas, i guess, are repeated, as i denoted at the start of each:


x2
F#m (244222@1) A (x02220@1)           F#m (244222@1)
      Don't you know
      E (022100@1)             F#m (244222@1)      for a moment know
      A (x02220@1)                        F#m (244222@1)      you think the world owes you
      E (022100@1)                   F#m (244222@1)      it don't owe you a thing

[and so on....]

x2 there's a man doing time
keeping a rosebush alive
He was wrongly accused
40 years and still survived

x2 Don't you know
for a moment know
you think the world owes you
it don't owe you a thing

x2 When it's given all it can
the best you must invent
when it's given all it can 
the best you must go get (2nd time: "the rest you owe...")

Don't you know
for a moment know
you think the world owes you
it don't owe you a thing

(Break: "dum da da-da du dumdum ")

There's a man doing time
keeping a rosebush alive
He was wrongly accused
40 years and still survived

There's a rosebush inside
keeping a man alive
and we all need hope
like water sunshine

Don't you know
You got water sunshine
For a moment know
You got water sunshine

You think the world owes you
You got water sunshine
It don't owe you a thing
You got water sunshine

Don't you know
You got water sunshine
Now for a moment know
You got water sunshine

You think the world owes you
You got water sunshine

x3 It don't owe you a thing
water sunshine
