[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
