A                    D
I've been walking through the fields
    Bm                 E
and on the streets of town
  A             D                 Bm    E
Trying to make sense of what you left me
A               D
Everything that I believe in
    Bm                  E
Has been turned upside down
 A                 D                       Bm E
Now it seems the whole wide world's gone crazy
F#               E/G#   A
When I feel like giving up
         D        A/C#  E
And I'm ready to walk away
A                D
In the stillness I can hear
  Bm              E
A voice inside me say

Chorus:
 A
Do something
 D
Do something
Bm
It's too late for saving face
 E
Don't just stand there taking up space, why don't you
 A
Do something
 D
Do something
Bm                   E                  A
It's not over, you know it's never too late

You were always on my side
Love was all we had
Now I sit and watch our love unraveling
I pick up the morning paper
All the news is bad
How did we get on this road we're traveling?
But when I feel like giving up
And there's nowhere left to go
That's the time I dig down deep
The only thing I know

Chorus:
Do something
Do something
Don't leave it up to someone else
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Do something
Do something
It's not over
You know it's never too late

A7 D     E
  Hide away
A               A7
You can't run away
D
Of your honour
 E
For your pride
 C#                   D
You'll sleep better knowing you tried to...

Chorus:
To do something
Do something
It's too easy not to care
You're not ready for the rocking chair
Get up and do something
Do something
Don't wait too long
Even if it's wrong
You've got to do something
Do something
It's not over
No, it's never too late
