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.


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.



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.

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.


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
