-Intro-
A D2 E D2 (repeat)
-Verse 1-
There's tarnish on the golden rule
And I want to jump from this ship of fools
Find a place where hope is young
And people aren't afraid to love
This world has nothing for me
This world has everything
all that I could want
and nothing that I need
This world is making me drunk
On the spirits of fear
So when he says who will go
I am nowhere near
This world has nothing for me
This world has everything
all that I could want
and nothing that I need
This world has nothing for me
This world has everything
All that I could want
Bm A E
AND THE LEAST OF THESE LOOK LIKE CRIMINALS TO ME
Bm A E
SO I LEAVE CRIST ON THE STREET
-Guitar Solo-
-Verse 2-
This world has held my hand
Seduced me into intolerance but
-Bridge-
A E A E A E D
NOW I'M BREAKING UP, AND NOW I'M WAKING UP, BUT NOW I'M MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME
This world has nothing for me
This world has everything
All that I could want
And nothing that I need
This world has nothing for me
This world has everything
All that I could want
And nothing that I need
