G Am I don't know what I can say to you D G Nothing I say feels like it is true G Am I am so sorry for how things were D G I wish that you could be happier [Bridge] Em But nothing works that way Em Nothing works that way [Chorus] Am D Lions have to kill G Em Zebra have to die Am D Mothers sweat and slave G Em Still their babies cry Am D Everyone is suffering Em Bm Pain is all this life can bring Am D G Tell me how the story ends [Verse 2] G Am Maybe in some other universe D G Being alive doesn't have to hurt G Am Things turn out just how we feel they should D G No one is ever misunderstood [Bridge] Em But nothing works that way Em Nothing works that way [Chorus] Am D Lions have to kill G Em Zebra have to die Am D Mothers sweat and slave G Em Still their babies cry Am D Everyone is suffering Em Bm Pain is all this life can bring Am D G Tell me how the story ends [Bridge] Em Am Em Am Be happy, if you can Em Am D Am I wish the best things for you Em Am Em Am Be happy, if you can Em Am D G I'll always love your soul [Chorus] Am D Lions have to kill G Em Zebra have to die Am D Mothers sweat and slave G Em Still their babies cry Am D Lions have to kill G Em Zebra have to die Am D Mothers sweat and slave G Em Still their babies cry Am D Everyone is suffering Em Bm Pain is all this life can bring Am D G Tell me how the story ends Am D G Tell me how the story ends Am D G Tell me how the story ends
