[Verse]
G#m       F#
 As I run through this life
G#m                     F#
 Sometimes it breaks my heart
G#m               F#
 Seein' old people goin' downtown
G#m                             F#
Stumblin' their way through the dark
G#m       F#
And the little babies cry
G#m                     F#
For their mothers' warmth
G#m                     F#
Sometimes I feel so helpless
G#m                     F#
I don't know where to start


[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation
      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
    E
The face of the nation
        F#
I don't recognize it no more
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

[Verse]
G#m       F#
So many lonely people
G#m                     F#
Damn those broken dreams
G#m       F#
Oh yes it could be better
G#m                     F#
You can say that about anything
G#m       F#
Some got it worse than me
G#m                     F#
Some got it worse than you
G#m       F#
You see the people starvin' underneath the tree
G#m                     F#
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule


[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation
      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
    E
The face of the nation
        F#
I don't recognize it no more
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation


[Bridge]

G#m                     F#
You know babe I'm gonna keep on tryin'
G#m           F#
To put things right
G#m           F#
If only for me and you
G#m                     F#
Cause the devil sleeps tonight


[Chorus]
        E
And the face of the nation
      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
    E
The face of the nation
        F#
I don't recognize it no more
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation

        E
And the face of the nation
      F#
Keeps changin' and changin'
    E
The face of the nation
        F#
I don't recognize it no more
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
                G#m    E F#
The face of the nation
