E
I brought a song into this world
B
And just a melody with words
It trembles here before my eyes
E
How can this song survive?
I brought it to the tower of gold
B
In my coat of many holes
I came unarmed, they've all got knives
E
How can this song survive?
F#m B
Oh, now, I can't help wondering how it is
A E
How someone like you exists
G#m C#m
When all around you bullets fly
A E
You don't seem to notice them
B E
Oh, how can this song survive?
E
I'll never leave this song alone
B
I'm gonna keep it safe and warm
For hate is strong and darkness thrives
E
How can this song survive?
F#m B
Oh, now, I see the game but I'm up against
A E
No wonder I feel so afraid
G#m C#m
For every song you ever heard
A E
How many more have died at birth
B E
Oh, how, how can this song survive?
E
I brought a song into this world
B
And just a melody with words
It trembles here before my eyes
E
How can this song survive?
B
I came unarmed, they've all got knives
E
How can this song survive?
B
Until we finally say goodbye
E
How, how can this song survive?
E
I wonder how, I wonder why, it now
