[Intro]
Bbsus2 Am Oh well, that's this world over Bbsus2 Am Oh well, next one begins
Bbsus2 Am Bbsus2 Am
[Verse 1]
Bbsus2 Am Will you smile like any mother Bbsus2 Am As you bathe your brand new twins? Bbsus2 Am Will you sing about the missiles Bbsus2 Am As you dry odd numbered limbs?
[Chorus]
Bbsus2 Am Oh well, that's this world over Bbsus2 Am Oh well, next one begins Bbsus2 Am Oh well, that's this world over Bbsus2 Am You sadly grin
[Bridge]
F G Em A5 Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land F G Em Asus4 A About their leader with the famous face? F G Em Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever grows A5 A/G In the garden anymore F G Em Asus4 Bbsus2 Because he wanted to win the craziest ra----ce Am That's this world over
Bbsus2 Am
[Verse 2]
Bbsus2 Am Will you smile like any father Bbsus2 Am With your children on a Sunday hike? Bbsus2 Am When you get to a sea of rubble Bbsus2 Am And they ask 'What was London like?'
[Chorus]
Bbsus2 Am Oh well, that's this world over Bbsus2 Am Oh well, next one begins, it begins, it begins Bbsus2 Am Oh well, that's this world over Bbsus2 Asus4 A You sadly gri---in
F G Em A5 F G Em A5
[Bridge]
F G Em A5 Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land F G Em Asus4 A And how a child to the virgin came? Whoa F G Em Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered A5 A/G Everything upon the surface of the world F G Em Asus4 Bbsus2 So we can stand right up and say we did it in his na---me?
[Outro]
Am That's this world over Bbsus2 Am Or so it seems Bbsus2 Am But that's this world over Bbsus2 Am The end of dreams Bbsus2 Am That's this world over, over, over and out Bbsus2 Am That's this world over, over, over and out [to fade]
