Hows The World Treating You ( W/ James Taylor ) 
*You can  there ( * ) because it does change,  
but I dont mess with it, it still sounds good.  
 
 
D 
I've had nothing but sorrow  
               A 
Since you said we were through 
 
Theres no hope for tomorrow 
               D 
Hows the world treating you 
 
Every sweet thing that mattered 
                G 
Has been broken in two 
                        D 
All my dreams have been shattered 
A              D 
Hows the world treating you 
 
   
Got no plans for next Sunday 
             A 
Got no plans for today 
 
Everyday is blue Monday 
         D 
Everyday you're away 
 
Though our pathways have parted 
                   G 
To your memory I'm true 
                D 
Guess I'll stay brokenhearted 
A                       D 
Hows the world treating you 
 
 
*Do you wonder about me 
                A 
Like I'm hoping you do 
 
Are you lonesome without me 
                       D 
Have you found someone new 
   
Are you buring and yearning 
                G 
Do you ever get blue  
                D 
Do you think of returning 
A                       D 
Hows the world treating you 
G               D 
Do you think of returning 
A                       D  
Hows the world treating you
