[Am] I just want to ask a question; who really cares?

There'll come a [Bm]time, [Am]when the world won't be singin',
[Bm] Flowers won't grow; [Dm]bells won't be ringin'.
[Gm] Who really cares? Who's willing to [Dm]try,
[Am] To save a [Fm6]world, that's [Dm]destined to [G13]die?
Verse 2:
When I [Bm]look at the world, [Am]it fills me with sorrow,
[Bm] Little children today, are [Dm]really gonna suffer tomorrow.
[Gm] Oh, what a shame, [Dm]such a bad way to live;
All [Am]who is to [Fm6]blame; [Dm]we can't stop [G13]livin'.
Chorus 1:
[Bm] Live, live for life, [C#m]but let live, everybody,
[Adim] Live life for the children, oh, for the [Dm]children.
You see, [G7]let's save the children, let's save all the children.

If you wanna love, you got to save the [Cmaj7]babies,
You will save the [Dm]babies; all of the children.[G7]
Bridge 1:
But...[Dm]who really cares? [Em]Who's willing to try?
