[Intro]
Am   E/G#  Am

[Verse 1]
E              Am
  I don't know what to do,
C/G                   Fm
I just sit here on my own
       F             E     
No-one talks, no-one hears,
        E                 Dm
 no-one smells and no-one tastes
Am         E/G#      Dm        E
Everybody sees. They see, they see
    Am
But if you walk in front of them
Dm                 Am
they don't look at you
     Am                 
They only keep on staring 
  Dm   E
at illusions

[Chorus]
Am    F    Dm          E
Oh-oh-oh A World of Distortion
Am    F          Dm         E
Oh-oh-oh There's nothing at all
Am    F    Dm          E
Oh-oh-oh A World of Distortion
Am    F          Dm         E
Oh-oh-oh There's nothing at all

      Am                E/G#  
Don't waste what you intend on 
      C/G              F#m
some things that they invent
Am                      Dm  
Use your mind for life. Look
          E
 into the world
Am                        
If you then step back from 
    Dm             Am
it you are all confused
    Am                   Dm  
But only if you stare at this
   E
 invention

[Chorus]
Am    F    Dm          E
Oh-oh-oh A World of Distortion
Am    F          Dm         E

[Bridge]
Am                      Dm     
How, tell me how, could I stand 
  Am
against it
    Am                       Dm
But why, tell me why, should I 
           E
follow the crowd

[Chorus]
Am    F    Dm          E
Oh-oh-oh A World of Distortion
Am    F          Dm         E
Oh-oh-oh There's nothing at all
Am    F    Dm          E
Oh-oh-oh A World of Distortion
Am    F          Dm         E
Oh-oh-oh There's nothing at all

[Verse 3]
         Am            E/G#    
Children play in their home all 
     C/G                F#m
the streets are silent death
Am                       
They just hurt their eyes, 
  Dm             E
but they carry on
Am                       
I just sit here on my own,
  Dm            Am
 haven't got a friend
    Am                      
But others who are lonely too 
  Dm                E
have got hundreds with no end!

How to play World Of Distortion: key, chords and progression

World Of Distortion by Jason Mann is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 10 chords: Am, E/G#, E, C/G, Fm, F, Dm, F#m, Cm and Ab.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Dm – E – Am – F (iv – V – i – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Fm, F, F#m, Cm and Ab are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
