Biography:
The Christians are a soul band from Liverpool, England, scoring several UK chart hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They consisted of Garry Christian (lead vocals), Roger Christian (vocals), Russell Christian (keyboards, saxophone, vocals) and Henry Priestman (b. 21 September 1955) (keyboards, guitars, vocals). The band's name refers to the Christian brothers' surname (which is coincidentally also Priestman's middle name), rather than any religious sentiment.

[Intro]
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]

In the ideal world we're now free to choose
