  C#m        B        A  E
I heard you sold the Amazon,
   C#m       B        A           E
To show the country that you're from,
    C#m       B            A       E      C#m
Is where the world should want to be for find
      B        A      E  C#m B
something all people need
     A         E            C#m        B
I'm faithless now though we win every time and
   A          E
I don't know how,
          C#m            B         A            E
'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me,
         C#m        B        A      E
But the people are dying to get on TV

Chorus:
C#m         B            A          E
I heard he lives down a river somewhere,
C#m     B          A       E
With 6 cars and a grizzly bear,
C#m       B         A        E
He's got eyes, but he can't see,
          C#m          B             A         E
Well, he talks like an angel but he looks like me

Oh, Lord! What have I become?
I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son
I'm not what you think you see
I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me
Why would you lie, why would you lie
about how you feel?
I've got a mission and my mission is real
Because you've had your chances,
yeah, you've had enough
I'm gonna burn your house down
to spread peace and love
And it gets me down
Oh, Lord, how it gets me down

Chorus

        C#m B A E
Oh Lord!
        C#m B A E
Oh Lord!

C#m               B                   A          E
I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil
       C#m                  B              A
'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game out
       E
in Brazil
         C#m              B               A
And it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all
                E
that you want still,
C#m                       B              A
Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in
    E
Brazil? - x2

Oh yeah!

Chorus - x2
