[Verse 1]
C Am
Well you win, it's your show now
D7 G
So what's it going to be?
C Am
Cause' people will tune in
D7 G
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
C Am
Before we lose touch now
D7 G
And we thought this was low
C Am
It’s bad, getting worse now…
[Chorus 1]
D G C Am
Where'd all the good people go?
D7 G C Am
I've been changing channels, I don't see them on the tv shows

And where'd all the good people go?

We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow.

[Chorus 2]
G C
We got this and that with a rattle a tat
Am D7
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do
G C
Bad news misused, too much to lose
Am D7
Give me some truth man, who's side are we on
G C
Whatever you say
Am D7
I turn on the boob tube, I'm in the mood to obey
G C
So lead me astray
Am
And by the way now...
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
C G A7
Sitting around feeling far away
D7 C
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
G A7
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
D7 C
To tell me how great it's all going to be
G A7
But you might no-tice some hesitation
D7 C
It’s important to you, it's not important to me
G A7
Way down by the edge of your whole reasons
C
It's beginning to show, and all I want to know is...
[Chorus 1]
D G C Am
Where'd all the good people go?
D7 G C Am
I've been changing channels I don't see them on the tv shows
D G C Am
Where'd all the good people go?

We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow.
[Chorus 2]

We got this and that with a rattle a tat

Bad news misused, too much to lose
Am D7
Give me some truth man, who's side are we on
G C
Whatever you say
Am D7
I turn on the boob tube, I'm in the mood to obey
G C
So lead me astray
Am
And by the way now...
