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

Verse 2:
A                            D
She tries hard to ignore the news
A                                   D
Nothing makes sense and she gets confused
  F#m              E              D
Between what is false and what is true
        A            E         D
And she worries they won't get through


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


Verse 3:
A                         D
They can see what's going down
A                     D
Empty houses all over town
F#m          E         D
So many lost are never found
    A                       D
And bad, bad signs are all around


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


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

Verse 5:
A                             D
She stares out the window and shakes her head
A                                  D
She can't believe the things she's read
    F#m           E            D
She can't believe what's being said
     A                         D
Some days she can't get outta bed


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


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

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


Outro:
A         E                 D

A         E                 D
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
A         E                 D
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
A         E            D
Baby, the world's gone wrong
A         E            D
Baby, the world's gone wrong
A         E                 D
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
A         E                 D
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
A               E                A
Everybody knows the world's gone wrong
