[Verse]
D (x3) E
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams,
G (x3) A
been hunted by a million screams.
A (x3) G
I can hear the marching feet,
D (x3) E
they're moving into the street.
D (x3) E
Now did you read the news today ?
G (x3) A
They say the danger's gone away.
A (x3) G
But I can see the fire's still alight
D (x3) E
burning into the night.
[Chorus]
D E G A
There's too many men, too many people
D E
making too many problems,
D E
and not much love to go around.
A G E
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion ?
E C D Bm E
So this is the world we live in,
C D Bm E
and these are the hands we're given.
C D Bm E
Use them and let's start trying
C D Bm A
to make it a place worth living in.
[Verse]
D (x3) E
Oh superman, where are you now,
G (x3) A
when everything's gone wrong somehow ?
A (x3) G
The man of steel, men of power
D (x3) E
are losing control by the hour.
[Chorus]
D E G A
This is the time, this is the place.
D E
So we look for the future.
D E
But there's not much love to go around.
A G E
Tell me why this is a land of confusion ?
E C D Bm E
So this is the world we live in,
C D Bm E
and these are the hands we're given.
C D Bm E
Use them and let's start trying
C D Bm A
to make it a place worth living in.
[Bridge]
(No chords)
I remember long ago when the sun was shining,
the stars were bright all through the night,
and the sound of your laughter
as I held you tight, so long ago.

[Verse]
D (x3) E
I won't be coming home tonight.
G (x3) A
My generation will put it right.
A (x3) G
We're not just making promises
D (x3) E
that we know we'll never keep.
[Bridge]
D E G A
Too many men, too many people
D E
making too many problems,
D E
and not much love to go around.
A G E
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion ?
[Chorus]
E C D Bm E
So this is the world we live in,
C D Bm E
and these are the hands we're given.
C D Bm E
Use them and let's start trying
C D Bm E
to make it a place worth fighting for.
C D Bm E
This is a world we live in,
C D Bm E
and these are the names we're given.
C D Bm E
Stand up and let's start showing
C D Bm E
just where our lives are going to
[Outro]
