The State Of The World Cifras

[Chorus 1]
    G#m                    D#m/F#     C#m/E
The state of the world has been on my mind
     G#m                        D#m/F#     C#m/F
It's weighed on my shoulders, demanding my time
G#m                        D#m/F#       C#m/E
Something is missing, it's hard to stay sane
G#m                     D#m/F#     C#m/E
Why do the answers seem lost and arcane?
 
[Verse 1]
    G#m       D#m/F#   C#m/E
May wars stop once and for all
    G#m                        D#m/F#   C#m/E
And cast off the violence that has us enthralled
    G#m              D#m/F#     C#m/E
May healing not just be for the few
G#m                    D#m/F# C#m/E
May peace be found for me and you
 
[Verse 2]
  G#m                     D#m/F#       C#m/E
I speak of a message said thousands of times, yet
   G#m                             D#m/F#   C#m/E
We smile when it's mentioned, then roll our eyes
   G#m              D#m/F#   C#m/E
It may be naive but I must believe
  G#m                       D#m/F#   C#m/E
Inside every human, there's kindness still
 
[Verse 3]
G#m                 D#m/F#       C#m/E
Hope is a fire that burns in our soul
   G#m            D#m/F#       C#m/E
If only an ember awaiting your call
   G#m                       D#m/F#  C#m/E
To rise up in triumph should we all unite
  C#m/E               D#m/F#     C#m
A spark for change is yours to ignite (oh)
 
[Bridge 1]
G#m     D#m/F# C#m/E
Ah, ah, ah,    ah (x3)
B/F#    C#m
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x1)
 
[Verse 4]
    G#m                   D#m/F#    C#m/E
I believe this message is worth our time
          G#m                        D#m/F#        C#m/E
There are people who've suffered yet conquered the climb
       G#m                          D#m/F#       C#m/E
Who've sat in the stillness through darkness and light
          G#m                  D#m             C#m/E
And found love in the colors between black and white
 
[Verse 5]
G#m                 D#m/F#   C#m/E
May compassion turn foe into friend
    G#m            D#m/F#      C#m/E
May self awareness help us transcend
    G#m                           D#m/F#          C#m/E
May forgiveness be given, despite lives that were lost
    G#m            D#m/F#    C#m
For isn't it peace all of us want
 
[Bridge 2]
G#m     D#m/F# C#m/E
Ah, ah, ah,    ah (x3)
B/F#    C#m
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x1)
G#m     D#m/F# C#m/E
Eh, eh, eh,    eh (x3)
B/F#    C#m
Eh, eh, eh, eh (x1)
 
[Chous 2]
    G#m                    D#m/F#     C#m/E
The state of the world has been on my mind
  G#m                       D#m/F#    C#m/E
Demanding my conscience and all of my time
    G#m                        D#m/F#   C#m/E
Was there ever an age where it all made sense
      G#m                 D#m/F#   C#m/E
Or am I reminiscing about lost innocence?
