[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][Em]
[G][D][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
Many years a[G]go,
[D]he looked [Am]out through a glassless [Em]window
All that he could [G]see was [D]Babylon[Am]
Beautiful [G]green fields [D]and dreams
And [Am]learn to measure the [Em]stars
But there was a [G]worry [D]in his [Am]heart

[Chorus 1]
He [Am]said [Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
I'm really worried a[D]bout [Am]living
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
Yeah, I really wanna [D]know about
[C]thi[C]s[C][C]
Is it like to[G]day?
Uh-[D]uh oh-[Am]oh

[Verse 2]
Then there came a [G]day, [D]moved
[Am]Out 'cross the Mediter[Em]ranean
Came to rest on [G]isles and the [D]Greek
young [Am]men
And with their silver [G]beards they [D]laughed
At the [Am]unknown of the [Em]universe
They could just [G]sit and [D]guess God's [Am]name

[Chorus 2]
But they [Am]said
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
I'm really worried a[D]bout [Am]living
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
Yeah, I really wanna [D]know about
[C]thi[C]s[C][C]
Is it like to[G]day?
Uh-[D]uh oh-[Am]oh

[Verse 3]
Then there followed [G]days of [D]kings
[Am]Empires and revo[Em]lution
Blood just looks the [G]same
When you [D]open the [Am]veins
But sometimes it was [G]faith,
[D]power or [Am]reason as the [Em]cornerstone
But the fur[G]rowed brow
has [D]never left his [Am]face

[Chorus 3]
He [Am]said
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
We're really living in a [D]land[Am]slide
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
Yeah, I really wanna [D]know about
[C]thi[C]s[C][C]
Is it like to[G]day?
Uh-[D]uh oh-[Am]oh

[Verse 4]
Then there came a [G]day, [D]man [Am]packed up,
flew off from the [Em]planet
He went to the [G]moon (to the moon)
[D]To the [Am]moon
Now he's out in [G]space,
[D]hey, [Am]fixing all the [Em]problems
He comes face to [G]face [D]with [Am]God

[Chorus 4]
He [Am]says
[Em]How could it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
I'm really worried 'bout my [D]crea[Am]tion
[Em]How did it c[D]ome to t[Am]his?
You're really killing [D]me you know
[C][C][C][C]
It isn't just to[G]day
Uh-[D]uh oh-[Am]oh
Is it like to[G]day?
Uh-[D]uh oh-[Am]oh
Is it like today?

[Interlude 1]
Uh-uh, bang!
[G][D][Am][Em]
[G][D][Am][Am]

[Outro 1]
Many years a[G]go,
[D]he looked [Am]out through a glassless [Em]window
Didn't under[G]stand [D]much what he [Am]saw
