Intro: G D Em C (2x)
Verse 1:
G
Listen,
D Em C
I can hear a voice,
G
I need a helping hand,
D Em C
just to beat the void.
G
I need a mission,
D
a dream to stop me talking to myself
Em
and now the silence is broken
C
and my soul is to sell
G
I need to pick up the pieces,
D
to scatter to the wind
Em
hold the city to your ears
C
and you can hear the wind come in.
Em G
But you can’t change the world with a song
Em G
and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.
G D Em
I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,
C
it’s playing for you.
G D Em
I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,
C
it’s talking to you.
G D
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
Em C
heart beating for you, however you lose.
G D
So speak to me
Em C
believe, believe, believe me.
Verse 2:
G D Em C
Don’t let it slip, through your fingertips.
G D
When there’s a ghost,
Em C
don’t try to reason with it.
G
Because now I’m tired, I’m wired,
D
so I will not miss a thing.
Em
I rope my words out to dry
C
and I’ve forgotten what to sing
Em G
But you can’t change the world with a song
Em G
and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.
G D Em
I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,
C
it’s playing for you.
G D Em
I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,
C
it’s talking to you.
G D
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
Em C
heart beating for you, however you lose.
G D
So speak to me
Em C
believe, believe, believe me.
