Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Listen,

I can hear a voice,

 I need a helping hand,

just to beat the void.

 I need a mission,

 a dream to stop me talking to myself

 and now the silence is broken

 and my soul is to sell

 I need to pick up the pieces,

 to scatter to the wind

 hold the city to your ears

 and you can hear the wind come in.

Chorus

 But you can’t change the world with a song

 and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.

I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,

 it’s playing for you.

I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,

 it’s talking to you.

The world dances to the rhythm of its own

 heart beating for you, however you lose.

So speak to me

 believe, believe, believe me.

Verse 2

 Don’t let it slip, through your fingertips.

 When there’s a ghost,

 don’t try to reason with it.

 Because now I’m tired, I’m wired,

 so I will not miss a thing.

 I rope my words out to dry

 and I’ve forgotten what to sing

Chorus

 But you can’t change the world with a song

 and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.

I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,

 it’s playing for you.

I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,

 it’s talking to you.

The world dances to the rhythm of its own

 heart beating for you, however you lose.

So speak to me

 believe, believe, believe me.

Bridge

 If that’s what it was to you,

 then that’s what it was to me.

 If that’s what it was to you,

 then that’s what it was to me.

 If that’s what it was to you,

 then that’s what it was to me.

Chorus

 But you can’t change the world with a song

 and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.

I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,

 it’s playing for you.

I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,

 it’s talking to you.

The world dances to the rhythm of its own

 heart beating for you, however you lose.

So speak to me

 believe, believe, believe me.

 believe, believe, believe me.
