[Intro - barre is dropped in intro - why feels odd - pattern xxX XxX] [Ebm7][Ab7]Oo ooh [Db7maj9-x43444]heh hey [Gbmaj7-243322]ah [Cmin7b5-x3434] What we're living in, (drop index 1 fret for next chord) [Bmaj7-x2434] let-me-tell-ya

[Ebm7] giving all my [Ab7] love to this world [Dbmaj9] Only [Gbmaj7]to be told [Cm7b5] I can't see, I [Bmaj7] can't breathe, [Bb7#5] no more will we [Ebm7] be....And
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7]nothing's going to change the [Dbmaj9]way we live Cos' [Gbmaj7] we can always take but [Cm7b5] never give An [Cm7b5] now that things're changing [Bb7#5] for the worse, see
[Ebm7] Woah, [Ab7] It's a crazy [Dbmaj9] world we're living in [Gbmaj7] And I just can't [Cm7b5] see that Half of [Bmaj7] us immersed in [Bb7#5-6x677x] sin is (odd extra bars/chords?) all we [Bb7] have to [Dm7b5-x5656x??] give these

[Verse 2] And I'm [Ebm7] thinking what a [Ab7] mess we're in [Dbmaj9] Hard to know where [Gbmaj11] to begin If [Cm7b5] I could slip the [Bmaj7] sickly ties That [Bb7#5] earthly man has made .. And
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7] now every [Dbmaj9] mother [Gbmaj11] can choose the [Cm7b5] colour [Bmaj7] Of her child [Bb7#5] that's not nature's [Ebm7] way
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) Well [Ab7] that's what they said yester [Dbmaj9] day There's [Gbmaj7] nothing left to do but [Cm7b5] pray I [Bmaj7] think it's time I found [Bb7#5] a new re [Dm7b5] ligion,
