Tom: Am
F C
World peace, world war
E Am
Little one, what are you dying for?
F C
Well, at least, you have the
E Am
Ambiguity of a metaphor
F C
That we've heard, for we're taught
E Am
For we've learned not to question a second thought
F C
But I've had quite a lot
G
These days, yeah
[Pre-chorus]
A G
Whoa and whoa and whoa, oh, oh
G Em G
What in the hell is going on?
A G
And whoa and whoa and whoa, oh, oh
Em
This is impossible
[Chorus]
F C G
There's a beautiful baby girl being born
Am
Wrong place, wrong time
F C G
With a heart and a soul and a family torn
Am
At the drop of a borderline
F C G
There's a beautiful baby girl in a storm
Am
Of missiles and land mines
F C G
And I don't know what to say
F C G
Oh, whose god would want it this way?
[Verse 2]
F C
So, I call up a friend
E Am
And we talk, talked about everything
F C
From the end of the world
E Am
To the start and the in-between
F C
Well, I'm not a religious man
E Am
But I do think I understand
F C
That peace wasn't just
G
Some dead man's dream, yeah
[Pre-chorus]
A G
Whoa and whoa and whoa, oh, oh
Em
This is impossible
[Chorus]
F C G
There's a beautiful baby girl being born
Am
Wrong place, wrong time
F C G
With a heart and a soul and a family torn
Am
At the drop of a borderline
F C G
There's a beautiful baby girl in a storm
Am
Of missiles and land mines
F C G
And I don't know what to say
F C G
Oh, whose god would want it this way?
[Bridge]
F C
Ever wonder if why you're alive
G Am
Is because you were born on the winning team?
F C
Ever looked at the TV
G Am
And thought about how this is really happening?
F C
Ever said something stupid
E Am
With no idea how powerful those words would be?
[Post-chorus]
F C G
Oh, I don't know what to say
F C G
Oh, whose god would want it this way?
