The Answer by Richie Sambora
The Answer
(intro) A F#7 Bm Dm E E
A F#7
The lightning flashed as angels
Bm Dm E
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
A F#7
That answer scared me into tears
Bm E
And all the grownups laughed out loud
A D
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
A D E
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
D E A
There's a world in every drop of rain
D E A
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
D E
Come along with me, come along with me
D E A
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
(intro) A F#7 Bm Dm E
A F#7
They say for every living thing
Bm Dm E
There's a guide up in the sky
A F#7
That helps you pass from world to world
Bm E
So you never really die
A
Then with scythe and cloak
D
Death comes waltzing to your side
A
As the visions pass you ask
D
If there was meaning to your life
B
As you strain to hear the answer,
E F#
Spirits sing, and devils fiddle
B E F#
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle
E F# B
Oh Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
E F# B
All the questions in our minds We surely ask in vain
E F#
Come along with me, come along with me
E F# B
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life
(intro) B G#7 C#m7 Em F#
B G#7
And now my life is like a storm
C#m Em F#
Growing stronger every day
B G#7
Like the unrelenting wind
C#m7 F#
That comes to blow our lives away
B E
So I live each day like I know it's my last
B E F#
If there is no future, there must be no past
E F# B
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
E F#
And with each instant that I breathe
B
I feel the joy that life can bring
E F#
Come along with me, come along with me
E F# B
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
E F#
Come along with me, come along with me
E F# B
Seek the truth and you will find another lie

Strum the last chord
slowly, and a distorted
B5 chord is played
under it as everything
fades out.
The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears
And all the grownups laughed out loud
Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens
There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die
Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle
Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life
And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like I know it's my last
If there is no future there must be no past
Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
