ev ’ry bod y want ed (D)some thing from you.
I saw you sit ting there.
I saw you sway ing to the rhy thm of the mu sic,
caught you play ing,
caught you pray ing to the (D)voice in side low you.

I don’t care

Nev er mind
what they want to do, you’ve got a right to your own point of view.

(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
(Am)I can see the world to night.
