Outro:
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                     B
To sing it like when we were young
                A            Db
Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                        B
Maybe we could learn to sing along
                 A                 Db
To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                     B
To sing it like when we were young
                A            Db
Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
Gbm        A                    D
I want the world to sing in her native tongue
                        B
Maybe we could learn to sing along
                 A                 Db                      Gbm
To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
