Tom: G
D G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
G C
Before you point the finger
D
I hope the whole thing disappears
G C
Remember empty words will fall
D
fall upon the deafest ears
G C
You won't give in without a fight
D
foul play without a doubt
G C
No silver lining to be seen
D
in this thundercloud and that's not allowed
[Chorus 1]
G D C
In the ideal world we'd be free to choose
D G
But in my real world
D C D G
you can bet we're gonna lose.
[Verse 2]
G C
Your money fills their pockets
D
fear fills their tiny minds
G C
At last the world is talking now
D
this ain't no way to treat mankind
G C
A sudden blackout stops the show
D
but doesn’t stop the way I am
G C
Cos all my life I've been afraid
D
your not the first to say I am I'll do all I can
[Chorus 2]
D G D C
for an ideal world where we're free to choose
D G
But in my real world
D C
oh we can bet we're gonna lose
D G D C
In the ideal world we can start again
D G
But in my real world
D C D G D
hangs on the colour of your skin
[Bridge 1]
D
We could be free forever
D
if they would only change
G C D G C D
But fools never change no oh no oh
[Verse 3]
G C
A speck of blue up in the sky
D
a song of hope a noble thought
G C
But how long must the people die
D
before the guilty ones are caught
Oh will you spare a thought
[Chorus 3]
G D C
for an ideal world where we're free to choose
D G D C
for an ideal world where we're no longer born to lose
D G D C
in the ideal world we can start again
D G
Now in my real world
F#m Em D
lets put an end to suffering end suffering
[Outro]
D G D C
In the ideal world we're now free to choose
D G D C
Oh in my real world we are set to air our views
D G D C
In the ideal world we can start again
D G
now in my real world
D C D
It matters not about the colour of your skin
D G D C
Ideal world free to choose
D G D C
Ideal world Oh we no longer make the news
D G D C D G D C
Ideal world start again Ideal world
