Intro:
D  Em  A7  D

Verse 1:
D                 Em           A7
Lord if you will, lend me your ear
   D                   F#m              G
It seems like this old world's beyond repair
    D                       A
But tell me does it have to be
       D                Em               A7
Can we summon the will, come up with the faith
          D                F#m           G
There are those who say we haven't got a prayer
    D                       A
Nor have we the strength to bear
                D     Em  A7  D
This impossible world

Verse 2:
D                  Em           A7
Death if you will, give me your hand
    D                          F#m        G
For there are some things I'll never understand
      D                  A
Could someone explain to me
D               Em       A7
How many lives, how many tears
     D              F#m               G
Must fall before we learn we're going nowhere
    D                  A
Not unless we learn to share
                D
This impossible world

Chorus:
          G                      D
Is that a tear in the eye of the storm
          G                    D
A hint of fear in the relative calm
    G                      D                Em              A
It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm are all in vain, oh

Verse 3:
     D               Em        A7
When I was a child I opened my eyes
      D               F#m      G
And beheld a world of possibility
       D                      A
Though now all there seems to be
                 D
Is an impossible world

Solo:
D  Em  A7  D  F#m  G  D  A  D

Chorus:
                G                      D
Still there's a song that I sing in my heart
          G                       D
There's a light that I see in the dark
      G                     D               Em              A
And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul do not be afraid

Verse 4:
D                 Em           A7
Lord If you will, lend me your ear
   D                   F#m              G
It seems like this old world's beyond repair
   D                       A
Oh tell me does it have to be
                   D
Such an impossible world
