[G] xxxx33 [G] [G] [A] xxxx55 been hunted by A million screams
[C] xxx55x [C] [C] [D] xxx77x but I can hear the marching feet
[D] xxx23x [D] [D] [E] xxx45x they're moving into the street.

[D] [D] [D] [E] Now did you read the news today ?
[G] [G] [G] [A] They say the danger's gone away.
[C] [C] [C] [D] But I can see the fire's still alight
[D] [D] [D] [E] burning into the night.
 
There's [D] too many [Em] men [G] too many [A] people making
[D] too many [Em] problems [G] and [A] not much
[D] love to go [Em] round [G] can't you [A] see this is a
[D] land of con-[Em]-fusion [G] [D]

[Em] So, [C] this is the [D] world we live in
[Em] [C] and these are the [D] hands we're given
[Em] [C] Use them and [D] let's start trying
[Em] [C] to make it a [D] place worth living [A] in [Am]

[D] [D] [D] [E] Oh superman, where are you now,
[G] [G] [G] [A] when everything's gone wrong somehow?

[Em] [C] Use them and [D] let's start trying
[Em] [C] to make it a [D] place worth living [A] in [Am]
