Chorus:
             Fmaj7         G
This is the world that we live in,
   C/E            Fmaj7
I feel myself get tired.
            Fmaj7          G
This is the world that we live in.

     Cm
Well maybe I was mistaken,
          Am                                G#
I heard a rumour that you quit this day and age.
                     C
Well maybe I was mistaken.

  F                G
Bless your body, bless your soul,
  Am                A#       C
pray for peace and self-control.

I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory
I'm so sanctified and free
Well maybe I'm just mistaken

C/E A# C
      Lesson learned and
                            C/E A# C C/E
      the wheels keep turning.

Chorus:
This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through

Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat
Underneath the waterfall
Baby, we're still in this boat

Chorus:
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

D#       Cm               A#   F/A     G#
I had a dream that I was falling  down.
C                      C/E
There’s no next time alone.
   A#                        C
A storm wastes its water on me.
        C/E  A#      C
But my heart,  was free.

Chorus:
I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back

This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can heal over time

This is the world that we live in
