[C] Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, [Am9] new worldly possessions

You're dealing with [D] cold thumb,
I’m willing to give [Bm7] up a leg [B] and arm and [C] show empathy from
Pity parties [Am9] and functions and you and [D] yours, a
perfect world, you probably [Ebdim] live another 24

[D] Seems like I point the finger just to [Bm7] make a [B7] point nowadays
[C] Smiles and cold stares, the [Am9] temperature goes there
[D] Indigenous disposition, feel [Ebdim] like we belong here

See, [C] in a perfect world, I'll choose [Am9] faith over riches
I'll choose [D] work over xxxxxes, I'll make [Ebdim] schools out of prison
I'll take [Em7] all the religions and put 'em [Am6] all in one service
