INTRO: G D Am
            G  D         Am                      Em
Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window

                  G       D   Am
All that he could see was Babylon

                G          D          Am                   Em
Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars

                G     D      Am
But there was a worry in his heart
CHORUS: He said,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?

                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living

             D       Am
How could it come to this?

                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"

                  G    D        Am                    Em
Then there came a time it moved out 'cross the Mediterranean

                G             D           Am
Came to western isles and the Greek young men

                 G            D              Am             Em
With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe

                G       D           Am
They could just sit and guess god's name
CHORUS: But they said,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?

                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living

             D       Am
How could it come to this?

                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"

                  G       D      Am              Em
Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolution

             G                     D        Am
Blood just looks the same when you open the vein

                G       D        Am            Em
Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone

                G         D              Am
But the furrowed brow has never left his face
CHORUS: He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?

                         D       Am
I'm really worried about living

             D       Am
How could it come to this?

                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"
INSTRUMENTAL: G D Am Em G D Am (2x) CHORUS:
              D       Am
How could it come to this?

                       D   Am
We've been living in a landslide

              D       Am
How could it come to this?

                         D       C
Yeah, I really want to know about this

                  G     D          Am                     Em
Then there came a time, man packed up, moved off from the planet

              G      D      Am
He went to the moon, took a load

                G      D        Am             Em
Now he's out in space, hey-hey, fixing all the problems

          G           D    Am
He comes face to face with god
CHORUS: He says,
              D       Am
"How could it come to this?

                          D     Am
I'm really worried about my creation

             D       Am
How could it come to this?

                       D         C
Yeah, I really want to know about this"

            G     D    Am

            G     D     Am
Is it like today? Hey heey
Is it like today? Woo woo D Am D Am G Am D Am G Am D Am D Am
