Verse 1:

C                       A#                 F
It seems like every time  I get something going 
   C                 A   A# F
It falls apart right in my hands
C                A                 A#                F
Seems like every time I've got it figured out and I have no doubt 
C                        A         A# F
That's when I'm farthest from the truth

Chorus:
C             G              F
The world is breaking down around me
C         G                  F
I see my destroyed world in front of me
C        G            F
Any and everything I trusted
C      G                F
I weep for my world disgusted

But I look to You Jesus yes I do     (Solo Thing)
F
And I trust in you

Verse 2:
C         A                        A#           F
I always learn the hard way there ain't no easy way to learn  
C       A          A#         F
That's what I've learned
C                A                              A# 
Was I taught the right things was I taught the right way
        F        C       A   A#F
I don't know and that is all I know

(Chorus)

Verse 1:
G               D G            C
Believing the lies  defines American
G                     D                C
They don't realize their ignorance and sin
G                D   G         C
Democracy ain't real,  it's a fairy tale
G       D                   C
Anarchy now, then spend the night in jail

For the people  by the people

Who's considered people anyway?
G             D     G                 C
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

So much for equal opportunity

(Chorus)
