G
Listen,
              Em   C
I can hear a voice,
          G
I need a helping hand,
                  Em  C
just to beat the void.
          G
I need a mission,
                    Bm
a dream to stop me talking to myself
             Em
and now the silence is broken
     C
and my soul is to sell
           G
I need to pick up the pieces,
    Bm
to scatter to the wind
          Em
hold the city to your ears
             C
and you can hear the wind come in.

Chorus:
         Am               G
But you can’t change the world with a song
         Am            G
and you can’t make it right when it’s wrong.
G                         Bm                        Em
I cannot stop this music travelling round with me wherever I go,
       C
it’s playing for you.
G                         Bm                     Em
I cannot stop the voice unravelling round me whatever I do,
      C
it’s talking to you.
G                         Bm
The world dances to the rhythm of its own
       Em                 C
heart beating for you, however you lose.
G           Bm
So speak to me
   Am                C
believe, believe, believe me.

Don't let it slip through your fingertips
When there's a ghost
Don't try to reason with it
Because now I'm tired, I'm wired
So I won't miss a thing
I wrote my words out to dry
And I've forgotten what to sing

But you can't change the world with a song
And you can't make it right when it's wrong

Chorus:
I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unraveling round me whatever I do
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me

     Em
If that’s what it was to you,
       C
then that’s what it was to me.
    G
If that’s what it was to you,
       C
then that’s what it was to me.
     G
If that’s what it was to you,
     Em                     C
then that’s what it was to me.

But you can't change the world with a song
And you can't make it right when it's wrong

Chorus:
I can't stop this music traveling round with me wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unraveling round me whatever I do
It's talking to you
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart beating for you
However you lose
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me - x2
