From this world to the next and from the next back to this
        By our actions we are bound
We're running out of love, running out of hate, running out of space for the human race

If you can't change your world, change yourself
If you can't change your world, change yourself
If you can't change your world, change yourself
If you can't change your world, change yourself
If you can't change your world, change yourself
And if you can't change yourself then change your world
I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on
I can't stop, I can't stop thinking of
All the people I've ever loved
All the people I have lost
All the people I'll never know
All the feelings I've never shown.
The world's too big and life's too short
The world's too big and life's too short
The world's too big and life's too short
To be alone, to be alone

The The - Lonely Planet from the album Dusk, 1992

G B Em Em

Intro:

G B Em

Planet Earth is slowing down overseas, underground

G B Em

Wherever you look around

G B Em

Lord, take me by the hand, lead me through these desert sands

G B Em

To the shores of a promised land

G B C F G B Em

You make me start when you look into my heart

G B C

And see me for who I really am

G B C F

If you can't change your world, change yourself

(second verse: still the same)

G B Em

I didn't care if the sun didn't shine and the rain didn't fall from the sky

I just cared about myself

From this world to the next and from the next back to this

By our actions we are bound

We're running out of love, running out of hate, running out of space for the human race

Planet Earth is slowing down

G B C F G B Em

You make me cry when you look into my eyes

G B C

And see me for who I really am

(the entire rest of the song is the same four chords)

G B C F

If you can't change your world, change yourself

And if you can't change yourself then change your world

I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on

I can't stop, I can't stop thinking of

All the people I've ever loved

All the people I have lost

All the people I'll never know

All the feelings I've never shown.

The world's too big and life's too short

To be alone, to be alone
