Just standard chords for the song.

I've been asked for strumming patterns, but it's fairly straightforward.

Simply put, I think that it's just strumming, and then right before each change in

chord, there's an accent on the off-beat.

Intro

Verse

Me and all my fr

iends, we're a

ll misundersto

od.

They s

ay we stand for not

hin', and there's no w

ay we ever co

uld.

Now we see ever

ythin' that's

going wrong with the

world and those who

lead it

We just f

eel like we don't h

ave the means to r

ise above and b

eat it.

Chorus

So we keep wai

tin',

waitin' on the wor

ld to cha

nge.

We keep on wai

tin',

waitin' on the wo

rld to ch

ange.

It's ha

rd to beat the sy

stem, when you're sta

ndin' at a dis

tance,

So we keep wai

tin',

waitin' on the wo

rld to ch

ange.

Verse

Now i

f we had the po

wer to bring our neig

hbors home from wa

They would have ne

ver missed a Ch

ristmas, no more ri

bbons on their doo

And when you tr

ust your tel

evision, what you g

et is what you g

'Cause when they o

bend it all they

want

Chorus

That's why we're wa

itin',

waitin' on the w

orld to chan

We keep on wai

tin',

waitin' on the

world to chan

It's no

ain't fair

So we keep on

waitin',

waitin' on the

world to

change
