Matthew West - Do Something

do something
matthew west

* it sounds best if played up the neck

verse 1
E
i woke up this morning
saw a world full of trouble now
thought , howd we ever get so far down
hows it ever gonna turn around
A
so i turned my eyes to heaven
E
i thought , god , why dont you do something?

well , i just couldn’t bear the thought of
people living in poverty
children sold into slavery
the thought disgusted me
so , i shook my fist at heaven
said , god , why dont you do something?

B A E
he said , i did , i created you

chorus
E
if not us , then who
if not me and you
A E
right now , its time for us to do something
if not now , then when
will we see an end
A
to all this pain
C#m A
its not enough to do nothing
E
its time for us to do something

verse 2
im so tired of talking
about how we are gods hands and feet
but its easier to say than to be
live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
its alright , somebody else will do something

well , i dont know about you
but im sick and tired of life with no desire
i dont want a flame , i want a fire
i wanna be the one who stands up and says ,
im gonna do something

( to chorus )

bridge
C#m
we are the salt of the earth
A E
we are a city on a hill
C#m
but were never gonna change the world
A B
by standing still
B
no we wont stand still
no we wont stand still
no we wont stand still

( to chorus )
