Dsus2     Bb    Gm         C               Dsus2  Bb  Gm 
Something now,      is something that will always be 
         C                Dsus2           Bb   Gm 
This is far beyond some earthbound human plan 
           C           Dsus2             Bb 
In this universe we're merely specks of sand 
  Gm               C 
Nothing more than man 


Bb   Dm    C          A      Dsus2 
Tell me - how did it come to this? 

        Bb   Gm         C         Dsus2    Bb   Gm 
What we do,       may light an unexpected fuse 
        C              Dsus2            Bb      Gm 
Every left or right may lead to consequences 
           C            Dsus2          Bb 
If the butterfly should flap its wings 
Gm            C 
If an angel sings 


Bb   Dm       C           A 
Tell me -    How did it come to this? 
Bb   Dm       C           A 
Tell me -    How did it come to this? 


Dsus2              Bb  Gm 
          Once a child 
   C              Dsus2   Bb  Gm 
I tried to hold eternity 
         C               Dsus2           Bb  Gm 
Take a leap of faith and never fear the fall 
            C              Dsus2         Bb 
But as I floated to those distant shores 
Gm                  C 
I    would hit the wall 

Gm           Bb     Dm              C              Gm               Bb  Dm 
How could I believe... There was something on the other side of it all 
           C             Gm         Bb    Dm 
More than any man could truly understand 
          C             Bb   Dm 
More than I could comprehend 
    C          A 
So how did it come to this?

         C                 Dsus2           Bb  Gm 
Never thought that I would walk so dark a road
