Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I asked my phone a question, didn't know where else to look

G
She just politely replied, "Ever heard of a book?"

C               G
Oh why's it so hard

C                        D7                 G
To figure out why things are the way things are?
[Verse 2]
G
So I went to the library to see what I could find

G
The librarian looked at me like I was outta my mind

C               G
Oh why's it so hard

C                        D7                 G
To figure out why things are the way things are?
[Chorus]
             C                  G
You could be rich, you could be poor

           D               G
Smart as a whip, dumb as a door

    C                  D7                    G
And still not have the answers we're looking for

            C             G
So could someone help me out

          D                G
Don't be shy just shout it out

       C            D7             G
Please tell me what life is all about

       C                        D7                G
'cause we're all just trying to figure this thing out
(Harmonica solo) [Verse 3]
G
I went to group therapy and sat in a circle made of chairs

G
I posed the question to my friends but all I got back was blank stares

C               G
Oh why's it so hard

C                        D7                 G
To figure out why things are the way things are?
[Verse 4]
G
I finally asked my mom, she's known me most of my life

G
She just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Go ask your wife."

C               G
Oh why's it so hard

C                        D7                 G
To figure out why things are the way things are?
[Chorus]
             C                  G
You could be rich, you could be poor

           D               G
Smart as a whip, dumb as a door

    C                  D7                    G
And still not have the answers we're looking for

            C             G
So could someone help me out

          D                G
Don't be shy just shout it out

       C            D7             G
Please tell me what life is all about

       C                        D7                G
'cause we're all just trying to figure this thing out
[Outro] C D7 G
