[Verse 1]
Ebm
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Ab
Been haunted by a million screams
Db/B
But I can hear the marching feet
Ebm
they're moving into the street.
Ebm
Now did you read the news today
Ab
They say the danger's gone away
Db/B
But I can see the fire's still alight
Ebm
There burning into the night.
[Bridge]
Db Ebm
There's to many men
Gb Ab
Too many people
Db Ebm
Makeing too many problems
Gb Db Db Ebm
And not much love to go round
Gb Ab
Can't you see
Db Ebm Gb Db
This is a land of confusion.
[Chorus]
Ebm B Db Bbm
This is the world we live in
Ebm B Db Bbm
And these are the hands we're given
Ebm B Db Bbm
Use them and let's start trying
Ebm B Db Bbm Ab Abm
To make it a place worth living in.
[Verse 2]
Ebm
Ooh Superman where are you now
Ab
When everything's gone wrong somehow
Db/B
The men of steel, the men of power
Ebm
Are losing control by the hour.
[Bridge]
Db Ebm
This is the time
Gb Ab
This is the place
Db Ebm
So we look for the future
Gb Db Db Ebm
But there's not much love to go round
Gb
Tell me why,
Ab Db Ebm Gb Db
this is a land of confusion.
[Chorus]
Ebm B Db Bbm
This is the world we live in
Ebm B Db Bbm
And these are the hands we're given

I remember long ago
