Chords

[Verse 1]
 A       D         A
I know I loved you then

  A       E         D A
I think I love you still

A        E          F#m
But this prophecy of ours

    D                    Esus4 E
Has come back dressed to kill

A       D        A
Three stones on a mountain

A           E          D  A
Three small holes in a field

A      E            F#m
You've given me the big dream

   D                  Esus4 E
But you can't make it real
[Chorus]
A   E     D
O, wicked world

      E                    A
Just think what could have been

C#7     F#m      E       A
  Jerusalem, New York, Berlin

            D
All I do is lose, but baby

 E                A
  All I want's to win

C#7     F#m      E       A
  Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 2]
  A       D        A
A hundred years or more

    A         E      D A
It feels like such a dream

A  E            F#m           D   Esus4 E
An endless conversation since 1917

A         D         A
Now the battery is too hot

     A       E          D A
It's burning up in its tray

A      E            F#m
Young marriages are melting

    D                 Esus4 E
And dying where they lay
[Chorus]
A   E     D
O, wicked world

      E                    A
Just think what could have been

All I do is lose, but baby

  All I want's to win

[Verse 3]
    A             D      A
Our tongues will fall so still

    A          E     D  A
Our teeth will all decay

A E                 F#m
A minute feels much longer

      D               Esus4 E
With nothing left to say

    A       D       A
So let them win the battle

    A         E       D A
But don't let them restart

A     E        F#m
That genocidal feeling

     D               Esus4 E
That beats in every heart
[Chorus]
A   E     D
O, wicked world

      E                    A
Just think what could have been

C#7     F#m      E       A
  Jerusalem, New York, Berlin

            D
All I do is lose, but baby

 E                A
  All I want's to win
