ARTIST:  Collective Soul
TITLE: World I Know

Bm D    G       A
Has our conscience shown?
Bm      D    G A
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Bm      D    G         A
Has all the kindness gone?
Bm      D    G      
Hope still lingers on.
A
I drink myself of newfound pity
A
Sitting alone in New York City.
 G
And I don't know why.


Bm      D      G                A  (2X)
Bm      D      G                A
Are we listening?
Bm      D      G                A
Hymns of offering
Bm      D      G                A
Have we eyes to see
Bm      D      G               
That love is gathering?
A
All the words that I've been reading
A
Have now started the act of bleeding
     G
Into one....Into one.


Chorus:

D                   A
So I walk upon high
     G
And I step to the edge
     D
To see my world below.
D      A
And I laugh at myself
       C
While the tears roll down.
   G
'Cause it's the world I know.
(Bm)
Oh It's the world I know.

VERSE III (look at end of Verse I)

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sittin alone in New York City.
And I don't know why.
Don't know why.

CHORUS (check out the first chorus)
So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
to see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.
Yeah, I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.
