Is It Like Today

		       G    D		   Am			      Em
 Many years ago he looked out through a glassless window
			   G           D     Am
 All that he could see was Babylon
			  G		  D		    Am
 Beautiful green fields and dreams and he learned to measure
         Em
the  Stars.
			G	    D	     Am
 But there was a worry in his heart

	  Am	                   D	       Am
He said "How could it come to this?
    Am	      D		   Am
 We’re really worried about living
Am	         	D 	   Am
 How could it come to this ?
		Am		      D	       C
 Yeah, we really want to know about this"
		   G	   D    Am
 Is it like today ? Oh, ooh

Then there followed days of kings, empires and revolutions
Blood just looks the same when you open your veins
Sometimes it was faith, power reason as the cornerstone,
But the furrowed brow has never left his face.

Then there came a day it moved out 'cross the Mediteranean
 Came to Western isles of Greek young men
 With their silver beards they laughed at the unknown of the universe
 They could just sit and guess God's name

 He said "how could it come to this ?
 We've been living in a landslide
 How could it come to this?
 Yeah, I really wanna know about this" Is it like today ? Oh, ooh

 Then there came a day the man packed up and flew off of the planet
 He went to the moon (to the moon)
 Now he's off in space, fixing all of the problems
 He comes face to face with God

 He said "how could it come to this ?
 I'm really worried about my creation
 How could it come to this ?
 You're really killing me you know"

 Is it like today ? Oh, ooh
 Is it like today? Oh, ooh

 Many years ago man looked out through a glassless window
 Didn't understand much, but he saw
