Intro:  Am  C  Dm  F  G

                Am    Em
What this world needs    is not another
F                      G
one-hit-wonder with an axe to grind
        Am                 Em
Another two-bit politician peddling lies
        F                 G
Another three ring circus society
                  Am  Em
What this world needs   is not another
F                               G
sign waving "super saint that's better than you"
        Am                     Em
Another ear pleasing candy man afraid of the truth
        F                    G
Another prophet in an Armani Suit

N.C.              F        Dm              G
What this world needs is a savior who will rescue
   Am             F
A spirit who will lead
  Dm              G         Am               F

That's what this world needs

Am  C  Dm  F  G

                Am
What this world needs
       Em                        F               G
Is for us to care more about the inside than the outside
               Am               Em
Have we become so blind that we can't see
                            F                           G
That God's gotta change her heart before he changes her shirt
                 Am  Em                  
What this world needs   is for us to stop 
F
hiding behind our relevance
               Am                             Em
Blending is so well that people can't see the difference
              F                             G
And it's the difference that sets the world free

N.C.              F        Dm              G
What this world needs is a savior who will rescue
   Am             F
A spirit who will lead
  Dm              G         Am               F
A Father who will love them in their time of need
   Dm             G
A Savior who will rescue
  Am              F
A Spirit who will lead
  Dm              G
A Father who will love
N.C.
That's what this world needs


(words spoken over Chorus chords-great w/ minimal strumming)
 
F Dm G Am F Dm G Am F Dm G Am F Dm G

People aren't confused by the gospel, They're confused by us.
Jesus is the only way to God but we are not the only way to Jesus This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie, My denomination, or my translation of the bible They just need Jesus We can be passionate about what we believe
but we can't strap ourselves to the gospels Because we're slowing it down. Jesus is going to save the world, but maybe the best thing we can do Is just get out of the way

note: i like to use mostly a downward strum for the most part. this is a rocking tune - mix it up. you can find the original on youtube.
