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?
