[Verse 1]
A D AI know I loved you then
A E D AI think I love you still
A E F#mBut this prophecy of ours
D Esus4 EHas come back dressed to kill
A D AThree stones on a mountain
A E D AThree small holes in a field
A E F#mYou've given me the big dream
D Esus4 EBut you can't make it real
 
 
[Chorus]
A E DO, wicked world
E AJust think what could have been
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
DAll I Do is lose, but baby
E A All I want's to win
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
 
 
[Verse 2]
A D AA hundred years or more
A E D AIt feels like such a dream
A E F#m D Esus4 EAn endless conversation since 1917
A D ANow the battery is too hot
A E D AIt's burning up in its tray
A E F#mYoung marriages are melting
D Esus4 EAnd dying where they lay
 
 
[Chorus]
A E DO, wicked world
E AJust think what could have been
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
DAll I Do is lose, but baby
E A All I want's to win
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
 
 
[Verse 3]
A D AOur tongues will fall so still
A E D AOur teeth will all decay
A E F#mA minute feels much longer
D Esus4 EWith nothing left to say
A D ASo let them win the battle
A E D ABut don't let them restart
A E F#mThat genocidal feeling
D Esus4 EThat beats in every heart
 
 
[Chorus]
A E DO, wicked world
E AJust think what could have been
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
DAll I Do is lose, but baby
E A All I want's to win
C#7 F#m E A Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
