Timing their lives to the monsters but the monsters won't leave them alone

You win some, you lose some, you ain't got much choice

But it's gotta be done, yeah, it's gotta be done

                       D                         G
But I think I liked it better when the world was round
                        Em                                 C
And I wish that I could change it, yes I wish that I could change it

                       Em                                C
And I don't think we deserve this, no I don't think we deserve this
                   D                         G
I think I liked it better when the world was round

                      Em                              C
Give me a reason to believe in, give me a reason to believe in

I think I liked it better when the world was round
                     Em                           C
Maybe we can make it better, maybe we can make it better
