I'm really worried about DlivingAm  
How could it Dcome to Amthis?
Yeah, I really want to Dknow about Cthis"
Then there came a Gtime Dit moved Amout 'cross the MediterEmranean

With their silver Gbeards they Dlaughed at the Amunknown of the Emuniverse
They could just Gsit and Dguess god's Amname
CHORUS:
But they said,
"How could it Dcome to Amthis?
I'm really worried about DlivingAm  
How could it Dcome to Amthis?
Yeah, I really want to Dknow about Cthis"
Then there came a Gtime of DKings, AmEmpires and revoEmlution

Sometimes it was Gfaith, Dpower or Amreason as the Emcornerstone
But the furrowed Gbrow has Dnever left his Amface

Eliza Gilkyson - Is It Like Today

G D Am

INTRO:

G D Am Em

Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window

G D Am

All that he could see was Babylon

G D Am Em

Beautiful green fields and dreams and learn to measure the stars

G D Am

But there was a worry in his heart

CHORUS:

He said,

D Am

"How could it come to this?

D Am

I'm really worried about living

D Am

How could it come to this?

D C

Yeah, I really want to know about this"

G D Am Em

Then there came a time it moved out 'cross the Mediterranean

G D Am

Came to western isles and the Greek young men

G D Am Em

With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe

G D Am

They could just sit and guess god's name

CHORUS:

But they said,

D Am

"How could it come to this?

D Am

I'm really worried about living

D Am

How could it come to this?

D C

Yeah, I really want to know about this"

G D Am Em

Then there came a time of Kings, Empires and revolution

G D Am

Blood just looks the same when you open the vein

G D Am Em

Sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone

G D Am

But the furrowed brow has never left his face

CHORUS:

He says,

D Am

"How could it come to this?

D Am

I'm really worried about living

D Am

How could it come to this?

D C

Yeah, I really want to know about this"

G D Am Em G D Am

CHORUS:

D Am

How could it come to this?

D Am

We've been living in a landslide

D Am

How could it come to this?

D C

Yeah, I really want to know about this

G D Am Em

Then there came a time, man packed up, moved off from the planet

G D Am

He went to the moon, took a load

G D Am Em

Now he's out in space, hey-hey, fixing all the problems

G D Am

He comes face to face with god

CHORUS:

He says,

D Am

"How could it come to this?

D Am

I'm really worried about my creation

D Am

How could it come to this?

D C

Yeah, I really want to know about this"
