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
