We are the world

[Verse 1]
E A B E
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
A B E
When the world must come together as one
C#m
There are people dying
G#m F#m
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
A Bsus4 B
The greatest gift of all

[Verse]
E A B E
We can't go on pretending day by day
A B E
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
C#m G#m
We're all a part of God's great big family
F#m7
And the truth
A Bsus4 B
You know love is all we need

[Chorus 1]
A B E
We are the world, we are the children
A B E
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
C#m G#m
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
F#m7 A/B E
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me

[ A/B B A/B E | A/B B A/B E ]

[Verse 2]
E A B E
Well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares
A B E
And their lives will be stronger and free
C#m G#m
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
F#m A Bsus4 B
And so we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
C D E
When you're down and out there seems no hope at all
C D E
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
C#m G#m
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (
F#m7
When we ... (Kim Carnes)
A Bsus4 B
