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

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

'Cause what the world needs now
