The Young Idealists Chords by Lloyd Cole

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
I know I said I [F] favored peaceful [D] _
[Am] resolution _ [F] But _ _ [A] _ _
[C] that was when [F] we were the young _ [Am] _
idealists
_ [F] _ _ The young [Am] _
_ idealists [F] Raging through the coffee [Am]
shops and [E] bars
[F] Make believe the [Am] world was really ours _ [C] Still supposing we could make a difference
[Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
Then we bought [Am] into the [G] neocon [Am] economic _ dream [F] _ _ _ _ [C]
And we were trading [Am] in futures [G] we [Am] believed in
_ _ [C] _ The young [Am] _
_ idealists [F] Careering through the [Am] markets to the mall
_ [F] _ Venturing that [Em] we could have it all _ [C] Still [G] supposing we could [C] make a difference _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Then the [C] markets fall _ _ [G] _ [C] And the heavens open
_ _ [G] _ There's no synergy [C] at all _ _ [G] The synergy [C] is broken
So _ _ _ _ _ maybe now [Am] take that wholesale [E] _ revolution we were talking [F] about
_ _ [G] _ _
Maybe now [Am] take the future we can breathe in
_ _ [F] _ The young [Am] _
_ idealists [F] Raging [A] through the forests and the streams
_ [C] Breaking [G] into your [Am]
laboratories _ [F] Still [G] supposing we could [C] make a difference
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C]
I never dreamed I'd [Dm] want a slogan [G] on my people [Am]
mover
_ [C] But _ [G] _ _ _
that was when we [C] were the young _ _ _ idealists _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
