Capo on 3rd fret
              
 
 Intro:   C   (2x) 
 
 
      C 
 The world kept moving and you stood still 
  Am 
 Caught in a moment against your will 
         F       G     C 
 And I think of you tonight 
 
      C 
 The world kept going and nobody could see 
      Am 
 The hell that was happening, too hard to believe 
         F      G       C 
 And I shed a tear for you 
 
 
F 
 No matter how many bombs we've dropped 
G 
 No matter how many wars we've fought 
        C               Em       Am 
 It's good to see that it's not dead 
         F    G               C 
 Human spirit   is alive and well 
 
 
      C 
 The people couldn't get it they said it wasn't true 
 Am 
 How could this happen, happen to you 
            F                  G              C 
 But we'll try our best to be home for Christmas 
 
      C 
 And all the while we're still thinking about ourselves 
 Am 
 Worrying bout money and stressing about wealth 
            F                 G            C 
 But there's much more, much more to live for 
 
 
F 
 No matter how many bombs we've dropped 
G 
 No matter how many wars we've fought 
        C               Em       Am 
 It's good to see that it's not dead 
         F    G               C 
 Human spirit   is alive and well 
         F    G               C 
 Human spirit   is alive and well 
         F    G               C 
 Human spirit   is alive and well
