All around the world, yeah
                        G7+5
(All around the world)
                              Cm7
Seen their brothers fry.
(I seen your brother fry)
                    F7
What's the motive?
           Abmaj7
In that madness.
       G7+5                                    Cm7
Oh, I wish I knew, you made my people cry
(You made my people cry)
        F7
So politicians
 
This time
                                              Abmaj7

We're too young to

To our problems
                                  Cm7
I think we've gone too high
(I think we've gone too high)
        F7
Little children
                   Abmaj7
Never said a word, now

You know they never said a word
                           Cm7
Still they have to die
 
Well I'm asking why

                        Abmaj7
Dancing like we do, yeah

[Bridge]
Cm7
All gone when we drop the bomb
 
Can the politicians reassure?
            F7
Cause here I am
 
Presuming that
 
Nobody wants a war
                 Abmaj7
There's so many people praying
          G7+5
Just to find out if they're staying
      Cm7
But lately stately governments
 
And disillusioned leaders
     F7
So full of empty promises
 
But rarely Do they feed us
             Abmaj7
Put our backs against the wall
     G7+5
Or don't we count at all?
                Cm7
Can you decide
 
Are you mesmerised?
 
Do you know which side you're standing?
              F7
Cause when it falls
 
Gon' take us all
 
Gotta know what we're demanding
 Abmaj7
I never lie
 
Can't you hear the cry
             G7+5
Coming from on high:
 
We're too young to die!
 
 
[Chorus] x8
Cm7          Dbm7
Do-do-do-doo
          Abm7         Bbm7
Da-da-do da-da-doo
