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

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