Chords

[Intro] C Am F G C Am F [Verse]
G       C
For the life of me

          Am
Ya know I can't recall

   F                             G
My father giving mighty words of wisdom

               C
But the more I live I see

             Am
The greatest gift of all

         F
Is how I always knew for sure

       G
He was Listening

     F
To a million questions

C             G
I felt like a fool to ask

         F              C
When I'd ask him for an answer

          G
He'd just laugh
[Chorus]
            F                                 C
And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know

        G
But I'm close to understanding

         F                C
Just how far I have to go

            Am
We give our hearts

            F
We take our chances

             C              G
And know the fool ain't the one

             Am
With all the questions

            F                  G
To tell the truth it's someone who

                       C
Believes they have the answer
[Instrumental] Am F G C (x2) [Verse]
         C
In the years since then

        Am
When my children come

        F
Pouring out their hearts

               G
This old world has broken

         C
I do the listening

           Am
I see what good it does

     F                G
When less not more is spoken

              F                C
And when they press me hard to tell them

         G
What the answer is

    F               C
I remember well and simply

      G
Offer this
[Chorus]
            F                                 C
And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know

        G
But I'm close to understanding

         F             C
Just how far I have to go

            Am
We give our hearts

   G        F
We take our chances

             C              G
And know the fool ain't the one

             Am
With all the questions

            F                  G
To tell the truth it's someone who

                       C
Believes they have the answer
[Chorus]
            F                                 C
And say the more I learn the more I learn how little that I know

        G
But I'm close to understanding

         F             C
Just how far I have to go

            Am
We give our hearts

            F
We take our chances

             C              G
And know the fool ain't the one

             Am
With all the questions

            F                  G
To tell the truth it's someone who

                       C
Believes they have the answer
[Outro] Am F G C (x2)
