[Verse 1]
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
Cadd9 G D
and that's a wisdom, I've laughed at
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but a good stiff drink it surely don't
Cadd9 G D
so I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.
[Chorus]
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is a new kind of tension
Cadd9 G D
'cause the old one just bores me to death.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
Cadd9 G D
like I need a hole in my head.
[Verse 2]
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
but a V-8 engine's a good start for me
Cadd9 G D
think I'll drive and find a place to be surly.
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but some words of wisdom could comfort us
Cadd9 G D
think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.
[Chorus]
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
are some true words of wisdom
Cadd9 G D
like la la la la la la la la la.
D
'Cause what the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
Cadd9 G D
like I need a hole in my head.

[Verse 3]
D
I don't know what the world may need
G
and I'll never grasp its complexities
Cadd9 G D
I'd be happy just to get your attention
D
I don't know what the world may want
G
but your long sweet body lying next to mine
Cadd9 G D
could certainly... raise my spirits.
[Chorus]
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is a new Frank Sinatra
Cadd9 G D
so I can get you in bed.
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
is another folk singer
C G D
like I need a hole in my head.
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G D
is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head.
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G D
is a new Frank Sinatra so I can get you in bed.
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G D
is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head.
D
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G
What the world needs now
Cadd9 G D
is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head.

Oh, lyrics are off though in a couple places:
In second verse, "new kind attention" is "new kind of tension" and after the solo, the part about leather dress is actually something like, "I may never know your complexities." The verb tense may be off (it may be "I'll never know your complexities" or something else like that).

I always got it as "new kind of tension" and it sound more in the mood of a teen

One of my favorite songs of all time, thanks a lot for posting this, sounds good.
