Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: E

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E

Verse 1:
E
I woke up this morning
E
Saw a world full of trouble now
E
Thought, how’d we ever get so far down
E

How’s it ever gonna turn around
        A
So I turned my eyes to Heaven
A                               E
I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
E
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
E
People living in poverty
E
Children sold into slavery
E
The thought disgusted me
       A
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
A                          E
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”
E            F#m  A          E
He said, “I did, I created you”

Chorus:
E
If not us, then who
E
If not me and you
       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
E
If not now, then when
E
Will we see an end
              A
To all this pain
A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing
                    E
It’s time for us to do something

Verse 2:
E
I’m so tired of talking
E
About how we are God’s hands and feet
E
But it’s easier to say than to be
E                              A
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
A                                 E
It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”
E
Well, I don’t know about you
E
But I’m sick and tired of life with no desire
E
I don’t want a flame, I want a fire
A
I wanna be the one who stands up and says,
A           E
“I’m gonna do something”

Chorus:
E
If not us, then who
E
If not me and you
       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
E
If not now, then when
E
Will we see an end
              A
To all this pain
A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing
                    E
It’s time for us to do something

Bridge:
C#m                     A
We are the salt of the earth
A                    E
We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine)
C#m                                 A
But we’re never gonna change the world
              B
By standing still
                     B
No we won’t stand still

Chorus:
E
If not us, then who
E
If not me and you
       A                        E
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
E
If not now, then when
E
Will we see an end
              A
To all this pain
A                   C#m       A
It’s not enough to do nothing
                    E
It’s time for us to do something
