[Am] [Em]
[G] [D]
[Em] [Am] [G]
Many years ago, [D] he [Am] looked out through a [Em] glass window.
All [G] that he could see [D] was Babylon, [A]
[G] beautiful green fields [D] and dreams.
[Am] And none to measure [Em] the stars, but there was [G] a worry [D] in [Am] his heart.
How [D] could it [Am] come to this?
I'm really [D] worried about [Am] living.
How could it come to this?
Yeah, I really [A] want to know [C] about me.
[G] Then like today, [D] oh,
[A] oh, then [G] there came a day.
[D] A moon
[Am] across the [Em] Mediterranean [G] came to a stone isle [D] and a creek.
[Am] Young men with [G] their silver beers, [D] they laughed [Am] at the unknown [Em] of the universe.
[G] They could just sit and [D] guess.
[Am] God said, how [D] could it come [Am] to this?
We're really worried [D]
about [Am] living.
How [D] could it come [Am] to this?
Yeah, we really [D] want to [C] know about me.
[Em]
And [G] like today, [D] oh, [Am] oh, then there [G] followed days [D] of kings,
[Am] empires and [Em] revolutions.
Blood just [G] looks the same when [D] opened [Am] with their veins.
Sometimes [G] it was faith, [D] power, [Am] or reason as [Em] the cornerstone.
But the [G] furrowed brow [D] has never left [Am] his face.
He said, how [D] could it come [Am] to this?
We're living in a [D] [Am] landslide.
How could it come to this?
Yeah, we really [D] want to know [C] about me.
Is it [G] like today?
[D] Oh, [Am] oh, then there [G] came a day.
[D] A [A] man packed up flew [Em] up from the planet.
[G]
He went to the moon, [D] to [Am] the moon.
[G] Now he's out in space, [D] fixing [Am] all [Em] the problems.
He comes [G] face to face [D] with
[Am] God.
He said, how could it come to this?
I'm really worried [D] about my [Am] creation.
How did it come to this?
You're really killing [D] me, you [C] know.
It isn't just [G] today.
[D] Oh, [Am] oh, is it [G] like today?
Oh, [D] oh,
[A] [Em]
is it like [Am] today?
Oh,
[G] [D]
[Am] oh, oh.
[Em] [G]
[D]
[Am]
[G] Many years ago, [D] he [Am] looked out through a glass [Em] window.
He [G] didn't understand [D] much [Am] of what he saw.
