[Verse]
BmSeems like everybody's Dgot a problem
BmNo one knows how
But, we aDll want to solve 'em
BmYou could give a dime
Give a hDand
Or give a shit
BmOr could look away and never Ddeal with it
BmFor example
This girl is pretty Dfly for a white gal
BmAll the guys want her even though Dshe's a juvenite
She's Bmreally kinda sad and Djust don't care
'Cause the Bmonly one she wants is her Dbest friend Claire
BmWhat's going on?
DWhat's going on?
Ready or Bmnot - NOT
The Dworld moves on and Bmon and on and Don and on and Bmon
Yo, Dwhat's going on?
[Pre-Chorus]
CThere's nothing Gmuch to me
I'm Dsimple like you are, ordinary
CMy tired Geyes can see
That Atime may fly
And what's left is
Meant to be
[Chorus]
DI'm looking Gout
You're looking Bmin
It's taken more then Gtime
To F#merase the Gstain
And it's Anever been the Dsame
[Verse]
BmAny city
A Dgirl turns 17, Bmgoes to a party
DShe and her girls are Bmdrinkin barcardi
DEver since she walked through the Bmdoor
All the guys have been Dscoping and flexing tryin' to Bmscore
But she's a good Dgirl
So she won't have Bmnone of that
She takes another Dsip
But has no Bmclue of the spike from the DG to the H to the BmB
She wakes up in the Dmorning
Bruised and raped in the Bmstreet
BmWhat's going on?
DWhat's going on?
Ready or Bmnot - NOT
The Dworld moves on and Bmon and on and Don and on and Bmon
Yo, Dwhat's going on?
[Pre-Chorus]
CThere's nothing Gmuch to me
I'm Dsimple like you are, ordinary
CMy tired Geyes can see
That Atime may fly
And what's left is
Meant to be
[Chorus]
DI'm looking Gout
You're looking Bmin
It's taken more then Gtime
To F#merase the Gstain
And it's Anever been the Dsame
[Verse]
BmYour town
DA kid that you know goes to school
BmHe's really kinda shy and Dnot that cool
BmHe knows what it's like to look Din from the outside
BmInside, he just wants Dsomeone to confide
But Bmeveryone's busy and no one's Dgot the time
He Bmtakes his dad's gun and says
"DThis is how I'll shine"
BmBoom, boom, boom
And the Dkids fall down
On the Bmground
DumbDfound (dumbfound)
BmWhat's going on?
DWhat's going on?
Ready or Bmnot - NOT
The Dworld moves on and Bmon and on and Don and on and Bmon
Yo, Dwhat's going on?
[Pre-Chorus]
CThere's nothing Gmuch to me
I'm Dsimple like you are, ordinary
CMy tired Geyes can see
That Atime may fly
And what's left is
Meant to be
[Chorus]
DI'm looking Gout
You're looking Bmin
It's taken more then Gtime
To F#merase the Gstain
And it's Anever been the Dsame
