(Intro.)
|(Em) / (G) / |(Am) / (Em) / |(Em) / (G) / |(Am) / (Em) / |

(Verse 1)
The (Em)monsters all fled from (G)under my bed
Now they're (D)downtown walking the (Em)streets
(G)Idol in my hand, bible (Em)in the nightstand
Swear the (Am)Devil lives (G)in the black (Em)screen
It's easy to (G)fold, to (Am)fall
To (C)throw your hands up and (Em)join 'em all

(Chorus)
Hard to be a (C)light, hard to be a-(G)lone
Hard to keep (D)fighting in a world that ain't (Em)home
Tryna stay (C)kind, tryna find (G)hope
Lotta lost (D)children tell you (Em)how to act (D)grown
(C) Drink up all the (G)poison in your cup
(D)Chains make you think you're (Em)free (D)
(C)Maybe I can't change the (Em)ways of this world
But I (Em)won't let the (A)world change (Em)me (G) (A) (Em)

(Verse 2)
(Em)Money and sex, (G)will of the flesh
Tell a (Am)man they can do no (Em)harm
(Em)Pull a man close, let him (G)think he's in control
That's (Am)how they put a hole in his (Em)heart
It's easy to (G)fold, to (Am)fall
To (C)throw your hands up and (Em)join 'em all
I (Em)wake up in a sweat to the (G)devil and his friends
Saying (Am)good luck getting through the (Em)dark

(Chorus)
It's hard to be a (C)light, hard to be a-(G)lone
Hard to keep (D)fighting in a world that ain't (Em)home
Tryna stay (C)kind, tryna find (G)hope
Lotta lost (D)children tell you how to act (Em)grown (D)
(C) Drink up all the (G)poison in your cup
(D)Chains make you think you're (Em)free (D)
(C)Maybe I can't change the (Em)ways of this world
But I (A)won't let the world change (Em)me / / /

(Bridge)
I (G)won't lay down
Not (A)then, not here, not (Em)now
I'll (G)stand my ground
Those (A)feet ain't where I (Em)bow
I (Em)won't lay (G)down
Not (A)then, not here, not (Em)now
I'll (Em)stand my (G)ground
Those (A)feet ain't where I (Em)bow

(Outro.)
So (Em)drink up all the (G)poison in your cup
(D)Chains make you think you're (Em)free (D)
(C)Maybe I can't change the (Em)ways of this world
But I (A)won't let the (Em)world change (D)me
(C)Maybe I can't change the (Em)ways of this world
But I (A)won't let the world change (Em)me (G) (A)
No, I (Em)won't let the world change (Em) me (G) (A) (Em) - - - - -
