Half the World

Rush
Tab
★3.8(4)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics:

Half the world hates

What half the world does everyday

Half the world waits

While half gets on with it anyway

Half the world Lives

Half the world makes

Half the world gives

While the other half takes

Half the world is

Half the world was

Half the world thinks

While the other half does

Half the world talks

With half the mind on what they say

Half the world walks

with half a mind to run away

Half the world lies

Half the world learns

Half the world flies

As half the world turns

Half the world laughs

Half the world tries to be the other half

Half of us divided

Like a torn-up photograph, A torn-up photograph

Half of us are trying

To reach the other half

To reach the other half

Half the world cares

While half the world is wasting the day

Half the world shares

While half the world is stealing away

Half the world lives

Half the world makes

Half the world gives

While the other half takes

Half the world cries

Half the world laughs

Half the world tries to be the other half

To be the other half
