 D              C
Half the world hates
      D              C          D C D C
What half the world does every day
 D              C
Half the world waits
       D            C          D C D C
While half gets on with it anyway

 D              A
Half the world lives
 D              A
Half the world makes
D              A
Half the world gives
  D                   A
While the other half takes
 D             A
Half the world is
 D              A
Half the world was
 D               A
Half the world thinks
  D                   A
While the other half does

Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away

Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half

Chorus:
D        E    G
Half of us divided
        C             G 
Like a torn-up photograph
        A             G
Like a torn-up photograph
D        E       G
Half of us are trying
    C                G 
To reach the other half
    A        G      A
To reach the other half

Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away

Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
To be the other half
