[G] [D]
[Am] [G] [D]
[E] [G] Many years ago, [D]
he looked [Am] out through a glassless [Em] window.
All that he could [G] see was [D] Babylon.
[Am] Beautiful [G] green fields and dreams.
[Am] And learned to measure [Em] the stars.
But there [G] was a worry [D] in [E] his heart.
[Am] He said,
[A] How could it come [Am] to this?
I'm really worried about living.
How did it come to this?
Yeah, I really want to [C] know about [G] this.
[C] Is [G] it like today?
[D] Oh, [Am] whoa.
Then [G] there came a day.
[D] It moved [Am] across the [Em] Mediterranean.
Came [G] to Western Isles.
[D] And the Greek [E] young men, [Am] with [G] their silver beards,
[D] they laughed [Am] at the unknown [Em] of the universe.

The [G] blood just looks the same [D] when you open the [Am] veins, yeah.
And [G] sometimes it was faith, [D] power, [Am] or reason [Em] as the cornerstone.
[G] But the thoroughbred [D] has never [E] left his face.
[Am] He said,
How could it come to this?
We've been living in a landslide.

He went [G] to the moon.
[D] To [Am] the moon.
And [G] now he's out in space.
[D] Hey, [Am] fixing [Em] all the problems.
[G] He comes face to face [D] with [Am] God, who says,
How could it come to this?
I'm really worried about my creation.
How did it come to this?
You're really killing [C] me, you know.
