Dm
The world is changing
A 
The planet's heating up
F                            G7
What the fuck is going on?
(Recorded laughter)
Dm
Rearranging
A
It's like everything happened all at once
F                                G7
Um, what the fuck is going on?
(Recorded laughter)
 
Bb                                  C       F
The people rising in the streets, the war, 
Dm
the drought
Bb               C                         F
The more I look the more I see nothing to 
Dm 
joke about
Bb                C
Is comedy over?
F                      Dm
Should I leave you alone?
Bb                                           C               
'Cause, really who's gonna go for joking at a time like this?
F                               Dm
Should I be joking at a time like this?
 
[Pre-Chorus: Bo Burnham]
Bb                     C                    F            Dm
I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it
Bb                        C
And I fear that comedy won't help
F                        Dm 
And the fear is not unfounded
Bb                                 C
Should I stop trying to be funny?
A                                   Dm C Bb Bbm
Should I give away my money? No!
 
What do I do?

Dm                  F
Healing the world with comedy
C                     Bb                   C
The indescribable power of your comedy
Dm                     F
The world needs direction
G7
From a white guy like me
Bingo
Bb
Who is healing the world with comedy
That's it!
 
[Verse 1: Bo Burnham]
Dm                    F
The world is so fucked up
C
Systematic oppression
Bb
Income inequality
Dm
The other stuff
F                                            C
And there's only one thing I can do about it…
Bb
While... while being paid, and being the center of attention
 
[Chorus: Bo Burnham]
Dm                                     F
Healing the world with comedy
C                                  Bb       C
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Dm                           F
A Jew walks into a bar
G7
And I've saved him a seat
Bb
That's healing the world with comedy
 
[Verse 2: Bo Burnham]
                                 F
I'm a special kind of white guy
                                                      C
I self-reflected and I want to be an agent of change
                                               Bb
So I am going to use my privilege for the good
(Very cool, way to go!)
F
American white guys
                                            G7
We've had the floor for at least 400 years
                                      Bb
So maybe I should just shut the fuck up
 
(Silence)
I'm bored
 
F
I don't wanna do that
                                    C
There's got to be another way (Yes)
                                           Bb
For me to help out without standing on the sidelines (Never)
F
The wait is over!
                                          G7
I'm white, and I'm here to save the day!
                                                 Bb
Lord help me channel Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side (Sandra Bullock!)
 
[Chorus: Bo Burnham]
Dm             F                           C
Healing the world with comedy
                          Bb                    C
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Dm                                      F                         
And yes, most likely they'll pay me
                         G7
But I'd do it for free
                           Bb
I am healing the world with:
Comedy

Bb                 F                    Dm
If you start to smell burning toast
C
You're having a stroke or overcooking your toast

Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke
If you see white men dressed in white cloaks
Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke

Bb                             C                       F      Dm
And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it
Bb                    C
And I fear that comedy won't help
F                            Dm
And the fear is not unfounded
Bb                                     C
Should I stop trying to be funny?
A                                   Dm        C
Should I give away my money? No!
Bb                          G
I know what I gotta do-
 
[Chorus: Bo Burnham]
Em       D     G
Healing the world with comedy
D                       C                D
Making a literal difference, metaphorically
Em                      D   G
I swore I'd never be back
                    D                F
But now I'm back on my feet
                                C
And I'm healing the world with comedy
