Verse 1:Bm
I would rather be
A lover for my lady
A mother for my baby
Than a sailor on the sea
Underneath the lights
We look bigger than we are
We look brighter than the falling star
Of brief celebrity
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody for the better
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody for the better
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
Verse 2:Bm
When you lose your inspiration
Blow a fuse to the sensation
That you used to feel so bright
Many are the things
In my mind that I would sing
In my soul that I would bring
If I could find the words tonight
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody for the better
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody's life forever
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody for the better
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow
And how it all flows together
If the words we use or the wars we choose
Are gonna change somebody's life forever
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
Outro
