Verse 1:
-------

Am             D7                  G
Now that I've lost everything to you
            Cmaj7                  F
You say you want to start something new
             Dm                    E 
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
*Esus4
Baby I'm grieving
Am                     D7          G
But if you want to leave take good care
                Cmaj7              F
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
            Dm
But then a lot of nice things 
  [  E       G   ]  *G7 lick
Turn bad out there


Chorus:
------

C         G               F      *F lick
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
G                  F          C  *C lick
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
C        G           F           *F lick
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
G             F                C
I'll always remember you like a child,
[ Dm     E ]
Girl

Am                  D7
You know I've seen a lot of what the
      G
World Can do
            Cmaj7              F
And it's breaking my heart in two
             Dm                E 
Cuz I never want to see you sad girl.
*Esus4 lick
Don't be a bad girl
Am                     D7          G
But if you want to leave take good care
                Cmaj7
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out 
F
There
            Dm
But just remember there's a lot of
[  E      G  ]  *G7 lick
Bad and beware

Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
G                  F          C  *C lick
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
C        G           F           *F lick
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
G             F                C
I'll always remember you like a child,
[ Dm     E ]
Girl
