This World Today Is a Mess Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]What you do, what you say
Has a lot to do in how you [E]live today
What you want, and what you make
Everybody knows it's
only [Am]what you take
What you see, and what you hear
When it comes around again
it's [E]not too clear
You say yes, they say no
Everybody's talking every[Am]where you go

[Verse 2]
You [Dm]try to give another
man a [G]helping hand
[C]He will take your kindness
for a [Am]weaker stand
[Dm]Never do to others what they do [G]to you
[C]Try to find another way to
[E]make it [C]through

[Verse 3]
[Am]What I say is what I know
Try to get a favour going
from [E]door to door
You stop and pray it's out of style
You a step ahead it takes
a [Am]hundred miles
What I say is what I know
Try to get a favour going
from [E]door to door
You stop and pray,
you know that's out of style
Get a step ahead it takes a [Am]hundred miles

[Verse 4]
You [Dm]try to give another
man a [G]helping hand
[C]He will take your kindness
for a [Am]weaker stand
[Dm]Never do to others what they [G]do to you
You'd better [C]do it to them
before they [E]do it [C]to you!

[Verse 5]
[Am]What you do, and what you say
Has a lot to do in how you [E]live today
What you want, what you make
Everybody knows it's only [Am]what you take
And now what you see,
and what you hear
When it comes around again it's not
[E]gonna be the same thing
Because you're gonna say yes,
and they're gonna say no
And everybody's gonna talk, and talk
And bla [Am]bla everywhere you go

[Verse 6]
And you [Am]know something?
You try to give another man a
helping hand
You know what he's gonna do?
He's gonna take your kindness
[E]for a weaker stand
You try to do for others what you'd
like them to do to you
Ah! ah! forget it! It's gonna
[Am]be some other kind thing!

[Verse 7]
So you [Am]try to give another man,
ah! listen, a helping hand?
He will take your kindness
for [E]a weaker stand!
Never do to others what they do [Am]to you

[Outro 1]
[Am]
