              Dm 
If you read the papers you will see 
History in the making 
      G 
You?ll read what they say life is all about 
They say it?s there for the taking 
        Dm 
Yeah, but, you should really check it out 
If you want to know what?s shaking 
 
    Cmaj7                Ebmaj7 
But don?t tell me about the things you?ve heard 
Fmaj7                       G 
Maybe I?m wrong but I want to believe in humanity 
 
Dm 
I know it?s often true, sad to say 
We have been unkind to one another 
        G 
Tell me, how many times has the golden rule 
Been applied by man to his brother? 
        Dm 
Well, I believe if I really looked at what?s going on 
I could lose faith I never could recover 
 
    Cmaj7                Ebmaj7 
So don?t tell me about the things you?ve heard 
Fmaj7                       G 
Maybe I?m wrong but I want to believe in humanity 
 
Am 
Maybe I?m living 
With my head in the sand 
I just wanna see people giving 
F                G 
I wanna believe in my fellow man 
           Dm 
Yes I wanna believe 
 
Finish on Am
