Verse
CMe and Mr. DGylan on the Amride home
FWe had aC heart-to-heartG about life
CBut neither him or Gme could deAmcide for oEmurselves
FIf we wanted to Goutlive that night
CLike two children on the Gplayground of the uAmnconfessed souls
FAbandoned by our Cmothers and our Glovers and our foes
CIf only we were bGrave enough to lAmive the lives weEm stole
FWhat a wonderful world Gthis could be!

Verse
SoC, how many moGre examplesAm until we break?
So Fhow many saCcrifices mustG we make?
CBecause we've all been there Gonce before
AmAnd it looks like we've rEmeturned once more
FSo is this the beginning Gor the end?
CThe last two soldiers Gon the battlefield
AmSurvivors of the war
FThey aim at one another Cwhile their mothers Gbeg the lord
"If youC're listening,G I'm missing him
So sAmomehow bring him Emhome.
FHow did it come to tGhis?"
CSo the soldiers lift their riGfles
AmAnd they're aiming at the head
FThey think of their first loCve before they tGake their final breath
CAnd somewhere in the dGistance they hear sAmomething someone sEmaid:
F"How did it comeG to this?"
