[Verse]
G                      E
Me and all my friends 
         C                       G
We're all misunderstood
         D                        E
They say we stand for nothing and 
                  C                   G
There's no way we ever could 
              G                             E
Now we see everything that's going wrong 
                 C                         G
With the world and those who lead it
              D                        E
We just feel like we don't have the means 
       C                    G
To rise above and beat it 
[Chorus]
                       G          E
So we keep waiting 
                          C                 G
Waiting on the world to change 
                       D          E
We keep on waiting 
                         C                   G
Waiting on the world to change 
        G                      A
It's hard to beat the system 
                     E                   A
When we're standing at a distance 
                      D        E        
So we keep waiting 
                         C                  G
Waiting on the world to change 
[Verse]
        G                   E
Now if we had the power 
                      C                            G
To bring our neighbors home from war
                            D                       E
They would have never missed a Christmas 
                  C                    G
No more ribbons on their door 
                       G                  E
And when you trust your television
                C                       G 
What you get is what you got 
                          D                   E
Cause when they own the information, oh 
                 C                      G
They can bend it all they want 
[Chorus]
G          E
So we keep waiting 
                          C                 G
Waiting on the world to change 
                       D          E
We keep on waiting 
                         C                   G
Waiting on the world to change 
        G                      A
It's hard to beat the system 
                     E                    A
When we're standing at a distance
                      D        E       
So we keep waiting 
                         C                  G
Waiting on the world to change
[Verse]                         
                           D      E
And we're still waiting 
                          C                G
Waiting on the world to change 
                       D      E
We keep on waiting 
                          C             G
Waiting on the world to change 
         G               A
One day our generation 
               E               A
Is gonna rule the population
                             D       E
So we keep on waiting 
                          C                 G
Waiting on the world to change 
                         D    E
We keep on waiting 
                          C                  G
Waiting on the world to change
                         C                  G
Waiting on the world to change
                         C                  G
