[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
E    E   E   E
