Verse:
G# minorG#m    F#F#
 As I run through this life
G# minorG#m           F#F#
 Sometimes it breaks my heart
G# minorG#m        F#F#
 Seein' old people goin' downtown
G# minorG#m               F#F#
Stumblin' their way through the dark
G# minorG#m    F#F#
And the little babies cry
G# minorG#m           F#F#
For their mothers' warmth
G# minorG#m           F#F#
Sometimes I feel so helpless
G# minorG#m           F#F#
I don't know where to start

Chorus:
    E MajorE
And the face of the nation
   F#F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
  E MajorE
The face of the nation
    F#F#
I don't recognize it no more
        G# minorG#m  E MajorE F#F#
The face of the nation
        G# minorG#m  E MajorE F#F#
The face of the nation

G# minorG#m    F#F#
So many lonely people
G# minorG#m           F#F#
Damn those broken dreams
G# minorG#m    F#F#
Oh yes it could be better
G# minorG#m           F#F#
You can say that about anything
G# minorG#m    F#F#
Some got it worse than me
G# minorG#m           F#F#
Some got it worse than you
G# minorG#m    F#F#
You see the people starvin' underneath the tree
G# minorG#m           F#F#
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule

You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin'

If only for me and you

Cause the devil sleeps tonight
