How did it come to this? v1
Dsus2Something Bbnow,      Gmis someCthing that will Dsus2always BbbeGm  
This is fCar beyond some eaDsus2rthbound human pBblanGm  
In this uniCverse we're Dsus2merely specks of sBband
NoGmthing more than Cman
BbTell Bmme - Chow did it cAome to Dsus2this?
What we Bbdo,       Gmmay liCght an uneDsus2xpected fBbuseGm  
Every leCft or right may Dsus2lead to consequeBbncesGm  
If the buttCerfly should Dsus2flap its wingsBb  
GmIf an angel siCngs
BbTell Bmme -    HCow did it coAme to this?
BbTell Bmme -    HCow did it coAme to this?
          Dsus2Once a chBbildGm  
I tCried to hold etDsus2ernityBb  Gm  
Take a leCap of faith and Dsus2never fear the fBballGm  
But as I floCated to those dDsus2istant shoresBb  
GmI    would hit the wCall
GmHow could I bBbelieve.Dm.. There was somCething on the oGmther side of it aBbllDm  
More than aCny man could tGmruly undersBbtandDm  
More than CI could compreBbhendBm  
So hCow did it cAome to this?
