Verse 1
[D]me and all my f[Bm]riends we're [G]all misunders[D]tood
they s[A]ay we stand for [Bm]nothing and there's no w[G]ay we ever c[D]ould
now we s[D]ee everything that's [Bm]going wrong
with the w[G]orld and those who l[D]ead it
we just f[A]eel like we don't h[Bm]ave the means to r[G]ise above and b[D]eat it
Chorus
so we k[D]eep waiting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
we keep on wa[A]iting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
it's h[D]ard to beat the [Em]system when we're s[Bm]tanding at a d[Em]istance
so we keep w[A]aiting ([Bm]waiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
Verse 2
now [D]if we had the [Bm]power to bring our n[G]eighbors home from w[D]ar
they would have n[A]ever missed a C[Bm]hristmas no more r[G]ibbons on their d[D]oor
and when you tr[D]ust your tele[Bm]vision what you g[G]et is what you [D]got
cause when they o[A]wn the inform[Bm]ation, oh they can b[G]end it all they w[D]ant
Chorus
that's why we're wa[D]iting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
we keep on w[A]aiting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
it's n[D]ot that we don't [Em]care, we just know that the [Bm]fight ain't f[Em]air
so we keep on w[A]aiting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange

Chorus
we're still w[D]aiting ([Bm]waiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
we keep on w[A]aiting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
one d[D]ay our gener[Em]ation is gonna [Bm]rule the popu[Em]lation
so we keep on w[A]aiting (wa[Bm]iting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
do we keep w[A]aiting?(w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
we keep on w[A]aiting (w[Bm]aiting) waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange, waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
waiting on the w[G]orld to ch[D]ange
