Intro: C C

Verse 1:
   C
I scanned the menu options
  Fmaj7
I did not have a choice
    G
I'd like to teach the world to sing
F                    C
 But I do not have a voice

Verse 2:
     C
So I bought myself a ticket
       Fmaj7
To the happening of the year
     G
The sky lit up with colours
F                    C
 The crowd let out a cheer

Chorus 1:
            G
It's just a sunset, someone said
               F             C
Something that happens every day
            G
Yes, it's a sunset, someone said
                        F              C
But now they've found a way to make it pay

Verse 3:
C
 I like to look at pretty things
Fmaj7
 I like to feast my eyes
                  G
I went to see the Northern Lights
              G
But they were pale and weak
F                C
 And not as advertised

Verse 4:
            C
So now, I'm learning about money
        Fmaj7
And I'm learning about law
          G
The first rule of economics?
        F                  C
Unhappy people, they spend more

Chorus 2:
            G
It's just a sunset, someone said
             F            C
Something is coming to an end
            G
Yes, it's a sunset, someone said
                 F                  C
And just exactly how much, did you spend?

But I do not have a voice
        G       Gaug    G6         G7
And I'd like to buy the world some time
     F          C
Some time and a choice

Yes, I'd like to teach the world to sing

But I, I do not have a voice

Some time, some time
      C
And a choice
