[Intro

[Verse 1]
E F#m
I wish I could give you an answer
E F#m
As to when life really begins
E F#m
I wish I could tell you where we went
E F#m
When our days here come to an end
D A
Wish I could see the future
D A
The same way I see the past
E F#m
I wish I could draw a conclusion
E F#m F#m
Why nothing here seems to last
[Chorus]
B E
I can't even make a guess
B E
Or an uneducated thought
B E
All I can do here is my best
D F#m
And be thankful for what we've got
D F#m D F#m
aahh aahh
E E E E
[Verse 2]
E F#m
Why do so many suffer
E F#m
Oppressed to the end of time
E F#m
Why does freedom move so slowly
E F#m
Unable to speak its mind
D A
Some say it's a circle
D A
Others think we live on a wing
E F#m
Why are promises broken
E F#m
And some think life don't mean a thing
[Chorus]
B E
I can't even make a guess
B E
Or an uneducated thought
B E
All I can do here is my best
D F#m
And be thankful for what we've got
D F#m D F#m
aahh aahh
E E E E
[Verse 3]
E F#m
I hope you can be a child of life
E F#m
With big dreams for everyone
E F#m
And know that dying's as natural as birth
E F#m
And our troubles here, they don't last long
D A
I have worried about many things
D A
Most of which did not come to pass
E F#m
I hope you find someone to give you love
E F#m
And that your love will last
[Chorus]
B E
I can't even make a guess
B E
Or an uneducated thought
B E
All I can do here is my best
D F#m
And be thankful for what we've got
D F#m D F#m
aahh aahh
