[Verse 1]
Am            D7                 G  
Now that I've lost everything to you
            Cmaj7                 F  
You say you wanna start something new
         Dm                       E      
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
E7        E       
Baby, I'm grievin'
Am               D7               G   
But if you wanna leave, take good care
                Cmaj7                 F   
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
           Dm                      E       G    G7
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
         Cmaj7                F  
And it's breakin' my heart in two
          Dm                    E        
Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl
E7         E       
Don't be a bad girl
Am               D7               G

Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
           Dm                           E     G   G7
But just remember there's a lot of bad, and beware

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
