Bad Religion
A World Without Melody
The New America (2000)

(drum)  w/ e♭  x 2

F5  D♭5  A♭5  E♭5  x 3  (lointain)

F5      D♭5     A♭5  E♭5  F5        D♭5 A♭5 E♭5
I don't want to live in a world without melody
Sometimes the rhythmic din of society is too much for me

    f       d♭    a♭ b♭               w/ f           e
But purpose is prioritized
      f        d♭      b♭      c
These days the goal is win the prize
There's a sleeping resonance
We hold through which we're unified

   A♭5 E♭5 D♭maj7
So let it  out
A♭5            E♭5         D♭maj7
Don't just get lost in the crowd

F5         D♭5            A♭5      E♭5
No one can deter you from your own path
        F5            D♭5                 A♭5        E♭5
There's no trip too remote from which you can't come back
    B♭5           E♭/A♭       B♭5     E♭/A♭
And I've got this hunch about you and me
B♭5            E♭/A♭
None of us are ready for a world without melody

   B♭5 E♭5 A♭5               E♭5
  (Me  lo  dy) Melody is the key
  (Me  lo  dy) It's the surest  way  to unlock your individua  li  ty
  (Me  lo  dy) Melody is the key
  (Me  lo  dy) It will set you free

F5  D♭5  A♭5  E♭5  x 2  w/ mélodie

Don't disrelish harmony, community will make you whole
Work and understanding are the chords way deep within your soul

They only need to be struck once
And the vibrations swell and spread
But if we mute them they decay
Our sensibilities are dead

So let it out
Don't just be one of the crowd

Hesitance and diffidence will do you in
And your soul doesn't care for social medicine
And I've got this hunch about you and me
None of us are ready for a world without melody

  Refrain

  (Me  lo  dy) And I know  together  we could change the world
  (Me  lo  dy) Just you and me

    F5      D♭5      A♭5 E♭5 F
But I won't live without melody
