Verse 1:
G                                        C
They get up every morning and they go to work
G                         C
He sells cars and she's a nurse
   Em             D              C
Workin' long hours is the devil's curse
G                                         C
Things are gettin' tight, but it could be worse

Verse 2:
G                            C
She tries hard to ignore the news
G                                   C
Nothing makes sense and she gets confused
  Em              D              C
Between what is false and what is true
        G            D         C
And she worries they won't get through


Chorus:
C                          G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong
C                     G
Dark days are getting long
C                        G
Looking for comfort in a song
                D                C
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
G               D           C           G D G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong


Verse 3:
G                         C
They can see what's going down
G                     C
Empty houses all over town
Em          D         C
So many lost are never found
    G                       C
And bad, bad signs are all around


Verse 4:
G                                C
A lot of people being put on the street
             G                   C
It's gettin' harder to make ends meet
   Em                    D       C
He comes home every night feelin' beat
    G                                C
And wonders how long he can take the heat


Chorus:
C                          G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong
C                     G
Dark days are getting long
C                        G
Looking for comfort in a song
                D                C
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

Verse 5:
G                             C
She stares out the window and shakes her head
G                                  C
She can't believe the things she's read
    Em           D            C
She can't believe what's being said
     G                         C
Some days she can't get outta bed


Verse 6:
G                         C
She hopes this won't last forever
    G                               C      Em
She needs to believe it's gonna get better
             D                 C
It's getting hard to keep it together
G                             C
They need each other now more than ever


Chorus:
C                          G
Come on, baby, we gotta be strong
C                     G
Dark days are getting long
C                        G
Looking for comfort in a song
                D                C
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong

Verse 7:
G                              C
She holds him tight and softly smiles
       G                       C
Says, "Baby, let's put on some Miles"
Em           D               C
And dance barefoot across the tiles
           G            D            C
And forget our troubles for a little while

G         D            C
Baby, the world's gone wrong
G         D                 C
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
G         D                 C
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
G               D                G
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
