[Intro]

A (2x) Am (2x) D

[Verse 1]

Em                                     G
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
A                                     A
Been haunted by a million screams
C                                  D
But I can hear the marching feet
Em                               D
They're moving into the street.

Em                               G
Now did you read the news today 
A                               A
They say the dangers gone away
C                                     D
But I can see the fires still alight
Em                            
There 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
Cant you see
          D          Em        G    D         Em
This is a land of confusion.

[Chorus 1]

C           D        Bm            Em
This is the world we live in  (aaaah)
    C             D          Bm         Em
And these are the hands were given (ooooh)
C            D          Bm           Em
Use them and lets start trying (aaaaah)
   C         D           Bm     A (2x) Am (2x) D   
To make it a place worth living in.

[Verse 2]

Em                               G
Ooh superman where are you now
A                                     D
When everything's gone wrong somehow
C                                    D
The men of steel, the men of power
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        Em
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

[Chorus 2]

C           D        Bm            Em
This is the world we live in  (aaaah)
    C             D          Bm         Em
And these are the hands were given (ooooh)
C            D          Bm           Em
Use them and lets start trying (aaaaah)
   C         D           Bm     A  A   Am  Am   
To make it a place worth living in.

All through the night
        E             B/D#      C#m

So long ago

My generation will put it right
C                             D
Were not just making promises
Em 
That we know, well never keep.

[Pre-Chorus 3]

D        Em
Too many men
G                A
There's too many people
       D        Em         G
Making too many problems

And not much love to go round
G        A
Cant you see
          D          Em        G   D        Em
This is a land of confusion.

To make it a place worth fighting for.

Stand up and lets start showing (aaaah)
C              D         Bm    A (2x)  Am  (2x)       D  Em
Just where our lives are going to.


That's pretty much how the song goes. If you want a tip for how to play it (rhythm-wise), check out 
Ray Wilson's acoustic version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk_V6eoDfTs
That version is in Bm, so it would be easy to transpose, but basically, with the rhythm,
that's what you're aiming for!
