[Intro] A A Am Am [Verse 1]
D  Em
      I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

G  A
      Been haunted by a million screams

C  D
      But I can hear the marching feet

D  Em
      They're moving into the street

D  Em
      Now did you read the news today?

G  A
      They say the danger's gone away

C  D
      But I can see the fires still alight

D  Em
      They're burning into the night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
        D        Em
There's too many men

G        A
Too many people

       D        Em        G
Making too many problems

    D        D          Em
And not much love to go round

G      A
  Can't you see

          D          Em      G    D
This is a land of confusion?

   And these are the hands we're given (ooooh)

   To make it a place worth living in
[Turnaround] A A Am Am [Verse 2]
D  Em
      Ooh, Superman, where are you now

G  A
      When everything's gone wrong somehow?

C  D
      The men of steel, the men of power

D  Em
      Are losing control by the hour
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D           Em
This is the time

G           A
This is the place

      D            Em      G
So we look for the future

            D        D          Em
But there's not much love to go round

G       A              D          Em      G   D
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion

     Use them and let's start trying (aaaaah)

   To make it a place worth living in
