HOW DID IT COME DOWN TO THIS            PETER HIMMELMAN


Dm          G            F  C   Dm               G         F     C
How did it come down to this   We've gone from flowers to fists
Bb            F          A          A7      Dm
These poison words from lips which used to kiss
F           G            Dm
How did it come down to this


         Dm              G          F  C  Dm                     G           F   C
Well I guess we ain't immune after all   We danced one step too far  We did fall
         Bb         F             A        A7   Dm
Well it drew me to you  Well I'm sure you can recall
   F                G         Dm
I guess we ain't immune after all


Dm                G          F  C   Dm             G                F   C
Love grows more slowly than fear   I used up all I had to draw you near
      Bb        F        A       A7    Dm
When rage overtakes my kindness disappears
F                 G          Dm
Love grows more slowly than fear


    G                                 Dm
My love for you ain't gone it still stands
    G                                 Dm
My love for you ain't gone it still stands
         Bb                  F                 A         A7      Dm
When my words they fly like bricks  I need to touch you with my hands
    F                  G             Dm
My love for you ain't gone it still stands


Dm          G            F   C  Dm               G          F    C
How did it come down to this   We've gone from flowers to fists
Bb            F          A          A7      Dm
These poison words from lips which used to kiss
F           G            Dm  F  G   Dm  F G  Dm
How did it come down to this    To this   To this...
