              Am C D D 
Am C D D 
 
Em                         C 
What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents  
G                        D 
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard  
       Em                     C 
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold  
     G                       D  
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm  
       C             Em  
Do you call her over hand her the change  
D               Bm 
Ask her a story ask her her name  
   C                 D 
Or do you tell yourself  
 
Am  
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D 
To believe you can change the world  
Am 
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D  
To believe you can change the world  
 
Em                            C 
What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v.  
       G  
And an ad comes on  
         D 
Yeah you know the kind  
Em                        C  
Flashin' up pictures of a child in need  
      G                  D 
For a dime a day you can save a life  
       C               Em           
Do you call the number reach out a hand  
          D                  Bm 
Or do you change the channel call it a scam  
   C                 D 
Or do you tell yourself  
 
Am  
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D 
To believe you can change the world  
                              Am 
Don't listen to them when they say 
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D  
To believe you can change the world  
       C                  G      
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference  
Em          
Love is alive 
      D                        Am  
Don't listen to them when they say  
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D  
To believe you can change the world  
 
Am C D D 
   
    D                            
The worlds so big it could break your heart  
        C 
And you just wanna help  
But not sure where to start  
       D 
so you close your eyes  
                 C 
Send up a prayer into the dark  
 
Am  
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D 
To believe you can change the world  
                               Am 
Don't listen to them when they say 
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D  
To believe you can change the world  
       C                  G      
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference  
Em          
Love is alive 
      D                        Am  
Don't listen to them when they say  
You're just a fool  
       G 
Just a fool 
                    D         Am 
To believe you can change the world  
 
G D(once)
