[Am]

[Verse 1]
Wake [Am]up everyb[Dm]ody,
no more [Am]sleeping in [Dm]bed
No [Am]more black think[Dm]ing,
time for thinking it in
The [Am]world has changed so [Dm]very much
from [Am]what it used [Dm]to be
[Am]There is so much [Dm]hatred,
war and poverty
Oh yeah
[Am]Wake up all the [Dm]teachers,
time to [Am]teach a new way
[Dm]Maybe th[Am]en they'll listen[Dm]
to what you have to say
Cause [Am]they're the ones
who's [Dm]com ing up
And [Am]the world is in their [Dm]hands
[Am]When you teach the chil[Dm]dren
Teach them the very best you can
Oh yeah
[F]The world won't get [Em]no better
[Dm]If we just let i[C]t be
Oh, [F]no, the world won't
get [Em]no better
We've got to [Dm]change again,
just you and [Am]me
Wake up all the [Dm]doc tors,
make the [Am]old people [Dm]well
[Am]They're the ones who suf[Dm]fer
and who catch all the hell
They [Am]don't have so [Dm]very long
[Am]before their judgment day
[Dm]So won't[Am] you make them happy[Dm]
before they pass away, oh yeah
[Am]Wake up all the [Dm]builders,
time to [Am]build a new [Dm]land
I [Am]know we can [Dm]do it if
we all lend a hand
The [Am]only thing we [Dm]have to do
is [Am]put it in our m[Dm]inds
[Am]Surely things [Dm]will work out
cause they do every time
Yeah, [F]the world won't get [Em]no better
[Dm]if we just let i[C]t be
[F]Oh, the world won't get [Em]no better
if we gotta [Dm]change again
Just you and [Am]me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[C]It's the God hour,
the morning I wake up
[Am]Just for the breath of life
I thank my maker
[C]My mind say I come from
hustlers and shakers
My [Am]mind build it on skyscrapers and acres
[C]He said take us back to where we belong
I [Am]try to write a song
as sweet as the songs
[C]Though I'm the type to bend arms
and wear my heart on [Am]my sleeve
Even when I'm failing God I believe
Read the days and weave
through the maze
And the seasons so amazing
Feed them and raise them,
seasons are aging
Earthquakes, wars, and rumors
I want us to get by,
but we more than consumers
[C]We more than shooters,
more than looters
[Am]Cre ated in this image,
so God lived through us
[C]An d even in this generation,
living through computers
Only [Am]love, love, love can be boot -ups
Oh, wake up every[Dm]body,
no more [Am]sleeping in bed
[Dm]Oh, [Am]wake up everyb[Dm]ody,
[Am]yeah
[Dm]Because I need a little [Am]help,
[Dm]I can't do it [Am]alone
[Dm]Oh, I need a little [Am]help, y 'all
[Dm]Come on, come [Am]on, come on, come [Dm]on
I need a little [Am]help, y 'all
[Dm]I can't do it al[Am]one
[Dm]Oh, I need a little [Am]help,
[Dm]y 'all[Am][Dm]
[Am]Oh -oh -oh -[Dm]oh -oh -oh -o
[Am]h -oh -oh -oh -oh [Dm]-oh -oh -oh

[Am][Dm][Am]
