Verse
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
Cadd9 G D
and that's a wisdom, I've laughed at
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but a good stiff drink it surely don't
Cadd9 G D
so I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.
[Chorus]
D
'Cause what the world needs now
G
is a new kind of tension
Cadd9 G D
'cause the old one just bores me to death.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
Cadd9 G D
like I need a hole in my head.
[Verse 2]
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
but a V-8 engine's a good start for me
Cadd9 G D
think I'll drive and find a place to be surly.
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but some words of wisdom could comfort us
Cadd9 G D
think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.
[Chorus]
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
are some true words of wisdom
Cadd9 G D
like la la la la la la la la la.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
Cadd9 G D
like I need a hole in my head.

[Verse 3]
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
and I'll never grasp its complexities
Cadd9 G D
I'd be happy just to get your attention
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but your long sweet body lying next to mine
Cadd9 G D
could certainly... raise my spirits.
[Chorus]
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is a new Frank Sinatra
Cadd9 G D
so I can get you in bed.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
C G D
like I need a hole in my head.

'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G

so I can get you in bed.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G

Cadd9 G D
like I need a hole in my head.
