C F C
Tryin to get by in this lonely world
G
Nothing for me here except envy of the past
Am G
How I wish I was born back in 49
C
There was something for me there
G C
But it will never be mine
C F C
I don't want a lot, but I would never decline
G
The love of a woman is just simply devine
Am G
I would never pass the chance to hold her in my arms
C G C
But I'm by myself in this lonely world
[Chorus]
Am G C
Oh this world is out to get me baby
Am G C
Oh this world hates you and me
Am G Em Am
But I could never ever hate you
F G C
So let's stay together and make this a not so lonely world
[Verse 2]
C F C
"Money can't buy happiness" if that's true I'm glad.
G
It's a right of every person it's not to be bought and sold.
Am G
Oh I wish to find it in the depths of my heart.
C G C
I will go on searching in this lonely world.
C F C
Time is fading in the palm of my hands
G
Hours of my short life just keep ticking away
Am G
Every second I’m alive- it just feels wasted
C G C
I will keep on fading in this lonely world
[Chorus]
Am G C
Oh this world is out to get me baby
Am G C
Oh this world hates you and me
Am G Em am
But I could never ever hate you
F G C
So let's stay together and make this a not so lonely world
