D  G  D  G


[Verse 1]
  D
White collar, blue collar, hillbilly, high dollar
  G
Hot head, pot head, non-believer, holy water
  D
Big city, small town, y'all take a look around
  G
People are different
  D
Heavy metal, hip hop, steel toe, flip flops
  G
Sip it slow, cold beer, hits you fast, whiskey shot
  D
Accent North, South, good as gold, sailor mouth
  G
People are different


[Pre-Chorus 1]
  D
Yeah, we all know it's true
              G                
But it don't mean that me and you


[Chorus]
       D
Can't walk down a street and smile at a stranger
 G
Heart on your sleeve and love thy neighbor
    D
No matter what shape, no matter what color
       G                
Break bread instead of fighting each other
 D
Slip on a pair of another man's shoes
        G
You'll see by the time you get back
           D
This old world would be a whole lot better place
         G
If we'd all just embrace the fact
                 D
That people are different
            G
People are different


[Verse 2]
 D
Left wing, right wing, jail house, freedom ring
 G
Old school, new school, everything in-between
 D
Like a snowflake, no fingerprint's the same
 G
And people are different


[Pre-Chorus 2]
 D
I wish that it was something that we all understood
     G                          
Lord knows it'd do us all some good


[Chorus]
    D
To walk down a street and smile at a stranger
 G
Heart on your sleeve and love thy neighbor
    D
No matter what shape, no matter what color
       G                
Break bread instead of fighting each other
 D
Slip on a pair of another man's shoes
        G
You'll see by the time you get back
          D
This old world would be a whole lot better place
         G
If we'd all just embrace the fact
                 D
That people are different
                 G
Yeah, people are different


[Bridge]
         Bm          A
You can turn on the TV
                          G                   D
Change the channel if you don't like what you see
       Bm                        A
You can get your money back if it ain't your size
        G                        D
You can throw it in the trash if you don't like it
    G
But listen, people are different


[Chorus]
    D
So walk down the street and smile at a stranger
 G
Heart on your sleeve and love thy neighbor
     D
No matter what shape, no matter what color
       G                
Break bread instead of fighting each other
  D
Slip on a pair of another man's shoes
        G
You'll see by the time you get back
          Bm                         A
This old world would be a whole lot better place
         G
If we'd all just embrace the fact
                  D
That people are different
            G
People are different
            D
People are different
       G
Whoa, yeah
