What In The World, Is The World Gonna Do


(Key: Gm - Soulful, Anthemic Rock Feel)

[Verse 1]

Gm
The clock keeps ticking, the headlines scream,
F
Another promise, another dream.
Eb
The world’s on fire, but who holds the flame?
Bb
Is it all just a losing game?

[Verse 2]

Gm
History turns, but do we learn?
F
Spinning wheels, bridges burn.
Eb
The echoes call from days long gone,
Bb
But the same old road we're walking on.

[Chorus]

Cm Gm
What in the world, is the world gonna do?
F Bb
Running so fast, but we're losing the view.
Cm Gm
Are we bound to fall, or rise up true?
F Eb Bb
What in the world, is the world gonna do?

[Verse 3]

Gm
Lines get drawn, hearts grow cold,
F
Silver tongues still buying souls.
Eb
They sell us fear, they sell us doubt,
Bb
But love's still here, we can turn it around.

[Bridge] (Breakdown – Soft, Then Build Back Up!)

Eb
Some pray for change, some stand and fight,
Bb
Some just run into the night.
Cm
But if we don’t hold on to what is right,
F
Then tell me, who will?

[Chorus] (Big & Soulful)

Cm Gm
What in the world, is the world gonna do?
F Bb
Running so fast, but we're losing the view.
Cm Gm
Are we bound to fall, or rise up true?
F Eb Bb
What in the world, is the world gonna do?

[Outro] (Soft, reflective, but hopeful fade-out)

Gm
Maybe love’s the answer, maybe time will tell...
F
Maybe the world’s got one last chance... to save itself.
