Em                         C
What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
  G                        D
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
        Em                     C
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
      G                       D
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
        C             Em
Do you call her over hand her the change
D               Bm
Ask her a story ask her her name
    C               D
Or do you tell yourself

Am
You're just a fool
        G
Just a fool
                     D
To believe you can change the world
Am
You're just a fool
        G
Just a fool
                     D
To believe you can change the world

Oh, what you gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on, yeah, you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day, you could save a life
Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam?
Do you tell yourself

Chorus:
Am
You're just a fool
        G
Just a fool
                     D
To believe you can change the world
                                Am
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
        G
Just a fool
                     D
To believe you can change the world
         C                 G
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Em
Love is alive
       D                        Am
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
        G
Just a fool
                     D
To believe you can change the world

    D
The worlds so big it could break your heart
         C
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
         D
so you close your eyes
                 C
Send up a prayer into the dark

Chorus:
"You're just a fool,
just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool,
just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't you
listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool,
just a fool to believe you can change the world"
