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

The face of the nation
G# minorG#m E MajorE F#F#
The face of the nation

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

You see the people starvin' underneath the tree
G# minorG#m F#F#
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule

Cause the devil sleeps tonight
