Intro:
Am
I just want to ask a question;
Who really cares?
E7
To save a world in de-spair?
Dm E7
Who really cares?
Verse 1:
Bm
There'll come a time,
Am
When the world won't be singin',
Bm
Flowers won't grow,
Dm
Bells won't be ringin';
Gm
Who really cares?
Dm
Who's willing to try,
Am Fm6
To save a world,
Dm G13
That's destined to die?
Verse 2:
Bm
When I look at the world,
Am
It fills me with sorrow,
Bm
Little children today,
Dm
Are really gonna suffer tomorrow.
Gm
Oh what a shame,
Dm
Such a bad way to live,
Am Fm6
All who is to blame,
Dm G13
We can't stop livin'.

You will save the babies,

All of the children.
