[Intro]

A5 F#5 G5

A5 F#5 G5 C5 D5

[Verse 1]

I felt the earth on Monday, it moved beneath my feet

In the form of a morning paper, laid out for me to see

Saw his face in a corner picture, I recognized the name

Could not stop staring at the face I'd never see again

[Pre-Chorus]

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

F#5 G5 C5 D5

What does it mean when a war has taken over

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

It's the same everyday in a hell man made

F#5 G5 C5 D5

What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

[Chorus]

A5 C5 G5 A5 C5 G5

The whole world

A5 C5 G5

World over

It's a worldwide suicide

[Verse 2]

Medals on a wooden mantle, next to a handsome face

That the president took for granted

Writing checks that others pay

And in all the madness

Thought becomes numb and naive

So much to talk about, nothing for to say

[Pre-Chorus]

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

F#5 G5 C5 D5

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save

F#5 G5 C5 D5

Does not equate, and the truth's already out there

[Chorus]

A5 C5 G5 A5 C5 G5

The whole world

A5 C5 G5

World over

It's a worldwide suicide

A5 C5 G5 A5 C5 G5

The whole world

A5 C5 G5

World over

It's a worldwide suicide

[Instrumental]

B5 A5

[Verse 3]

Looking in the eyes of the fallen

You got to know there's another, another, another, another

Another way

[Pre-Chorus]

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain

F#5 G5 C5 D5

What does it mean when a war has taken over

A5 F#5 G5 A5 F#5 G5 A5

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break

F#5 G5 C5 D5

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

[Chorus]

A5 C5 G5 A5 C5 G5

The whole world

A5 C5 G5

World over

It's a worldwide suicide

A5 C5 G5 A5 C5 G5

The whole world

A5 C5 G5

World over

It's a worldwide suicide
