    Listen to me, I'll sing a song to change your mi...nd.
 
                      C                      G              Am                       Em
1. Have you ever wondered why, when everything goes wrong,
      F                        C                  G                         G7
    nobody stops to lend a hand, nobody seems to care?
                      C                       G           Am                      Em
    Then she looks you in the eye, and suddenly you're strong,
             F                     C                G                               F-C-G
    and very soon you realize that you didn't care about lo.......ve.
 
   C                                              Dm               F
Listen to me, I'll sing a song to change your mind,
          G                              G7                           F             C
your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind.
                                                Dm               
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find,
   F                            C             G                               C        
somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care,
         F                              C                G                              F-C-G
and very soon you've forgotten, that you didn't care about lo...ve.
 
   C-G-F-G                 C            G                          Am              Em
2.                 Does it hurt to realize, you've been acting very strange,
        F                           C                           G                          G7
    refusing to take the love she gives, pretending you don't care?
               C                      G             Am                       Em
    Did it take you by surprise to discover how you'd changed,
             F                        C                  G                              F-C-G
    how you forgot to remember, that you didn't care about lo.....ve?
                                               G                               F-C
+ CHORUS   + CHORUS  + you didn't care about lo...ve,
      G                                G7                             F-C
    you didn't care about, you didn't care about lo...ve.
