[Verse 1]
A D A
I know I loved you then
A E D A
I think I love you still
A E F#m
But this prophecy of ours
D Esus4 E
Has come back dressed to kill
A D A
Three stones on a mountain
A E D A
Three small holes in a field
A E F#m
You’ve given me the big dream
D Esus4 E
But you can’t make it real

[Chorus]
A E D
O, wicked world
E A
Just think what could have been
C#7 F#m E A
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
D
All 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 A
A hundred years or more
A E D A
It feels like such a dream
A E F#m D Esus4 E
An endless conversation since 1917
A D A
Now the battery is too hot
A E D A
It’s burning up in its tray
A E F#m
Young marriages are melting
D Esus4 E
And dying where they lay

O, wicked world

C#7 F#m E A
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
D
All 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 A
Our tongues will fall so still
A E D A
Our teeth will all decay
A E F#m
A minute feels much longer
D Esus4 E
With nothing left to say
A D A
So let them win the battle
A E D A
But don’t let them restart
A E F#m
That genocidal feeling
D Esus4 E
That beats in every heart
[Chorus]
A E D
O, wicked world
E A
Just think what could have been
C#7 F#m E A
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
D
All I do is lose, but baby
E A
All I want’s to win
C#7 F#m E A
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
