Verse - I like to arpegiate these chords like Tom does live, it sounds really good
C5 G5 A5
Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
F5 C5 G5
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
C5 G5 A5
We've all been there once, but you never left
F5 C5 G5
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends
C5 G5 A5 E5
I'm not leaving this place
F5 G5
Unless I'm leaving with you
C5 G5 A5
Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart here
F5 C5 G5
And I know you will put it to use
C5 G5 A5
Until it's gone, gone, gone
F5 C5 G5
Gone, gone, gone
C5 G5 A5 E5 F5 G5
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah

Verse
C5 G5 A5
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
F5 C5 G5
We had a heart-to-heart about life
C5 G5 A5 E5
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
F5 G5
If we wanted to outlive that night
C5 G5 A5
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
F5 C5 G5
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
C5 G5 A5 E5
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
F5 G5
What a wonderful world this could be!

Verse
C5 G5 A5
So, how many more examples until we break?
F5 C5 G5
So how many sacrifices must we make?
C5 G5
Because we've all been there once before
A5 E5
And it looks like we've returned once more
F5 G5
So is this the beginning or the end?
C5 G5
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
A5
Survivors of the war
F5 C5 G5
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
C5 G5
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
A5 E5
So somehow bring him home.
F5 G5
How did it come to this?"
C5 G5
So the soldiers lift their rifles
A5
And they're aiming at the head
F5 C5 G5
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
C5 G5 A5 E5
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
F5 G5
"How did it come to this?"
