Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Em     Em7
Em     D

Verse 1:
Em
The biggest companies in the world in conference
D                C
in Geneva by the lakeside
Em                           D                 C
Warm smiles friendly faces- Peace proposals in briefcases
Em
Lines of borders on the map on the table
D                 C
They replace with dotted lines
Em
We read about it in free newspapers
D                     C
Then they started to unwind
Em
Within a week all the refugees of the world
D                  C
Lived in five-star hotels
Em                               D              C
Twenty-four hour room-service- free telephone- no bills
Em                                    D              C
And the trucks got through to Africa- into Eritrea and the Sudan
Em                               D
Laden down with western surplus- it served it's purpose
C                      Em
Eased a conscience or two

Chorus:
         C      D*            G                            C
She said don't fool me now- I believe every word that you said
C      D*                  Em
Don't hold out while it's sounding so good
C      D*                  G                       C
Don't fool around when what you believe could come true
C      D*       Em       C    D*        Em
Don't hold your breath- Don't hold your breath

Interlude:
Em     Em7
Em     D

Verse 2:
Em
US congress voted Texas back to the Mexicans
D                 C
California to the Jews
Em
Huge tracts of Arizona to the Navajo
D             C
Nevada to the Sioux
Em                             D                     C
The twelve tribes of Israel got down in Gaza for the last time
Em                                     D                C      D
By the time they got to the West Bank- baby- it was Palestine
Em
The French stopped nuking the Pacific
D                     C
They planted trees in Brazil instead
Em                                       D
And they made Antarctica a world park- baby
           C
Plenty of ozone above your head

Chorus:
         C      D*            G                            C
She said don't fool me now- I believe every word that you said
C      D*                  Em
Don't hold out while it's sounding so good
C      D*                  G                       C
Don't fool around when what you believe could come true
C      D*       Em       C    D*        Em
Don't hold your breath- Don't hold your breath

Bridge:
G/B       C          A/C#             D
All of my innocence long since turned to dust
G/B        C         A/C#                 D
I carry my cynicsm- like a tourist with a camera

Verse 3:
      Em                            D                  C
Yeah! You and me my sweet darling- we'll grow old with grace
Em                                   D        C
And our children will grow up in the valley of love
Em                                D                  C
They'll be so damn well educated- they'll be so well informed
Em
And we'll sit back with our arms folded
D                    C
Watch 'em change it! Watch it burn!

Outro:
          C     D*            G                           C
She said don't fool me now- I believe every word that you said
C     D*        Em       C     D*       Em
Don't hold your breath- Don't hold your breath
C     D*        Em       C     D*       Em
Don't hold your breath- Don't hold your breath
