Could It Be

Intro:
C Dm C Dm

Verse:
                         G
In the ebb and flow of living
       C                   Am
As we wander through the years
       D                 G
We're told to listen to a voice
   Em                    Am
We can't here with our ears
       F                 G
They say to live by something
            Em                Am
That you can't see with your eyes
          F      Em  Dm
Is there really any purpose
 C        G
To this foolish exercise?

Chorus:
          Dm                 G
Could it be You make Your presence known
 Em               Am
So often by Your absence?
          F                    G
Could it be that questions tell us more
      Em           Am
Than answers ever do?
 G        F                   G             E
Could it be that You would really rather die
              Am
Than live without us?
          F      Em    D      C         G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
    C
Is You?

Interlude:
Dm C Dm

Verse:
                           G
In our words and in our silence
          C      Am
In our pride and in our shame
       Dm                G
To the genius and the scholar
        Em             Am
To the foolish and insane
        F                 G
To the ones who care to seek You
         Em              Am
To the ones who never will
                    Dm   C        G
You are the only answer even still

Chorus:
          Dm                 G
Could it be You make Your presence known
 Em               Am
So often by Your absence?
          F                    G
Could it be that questions tell us more
      Em           Am
Than answers ever do?
 G        F                   G             E
Could it be that You would really rather die
              Am
Than live without us?
          F      Em    D      C         G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
    C
Is You?

Bridge:
         F                  Am
It's a question you can't answer
            Dm          Am
An answer you cannot express
           Bb           Am
That the gentle Man of Sorrow
        Gm                F
Is the source of happiness
                         C
You'll never solve the mystery
     Dm           F
Of this magnetic man
 Bb            F               G  Am F#m
For you must believe to understand

Chorus:
          Dm                 G
Could it be You make Your presence known
 Em               Am
So often by Your absence?
          F                    G
Could it be that questions tell us more
      Em           Am
Than answers ever do?
 G        F                   G             E
Could it be that You would really rather die
              Am
Than live without us?
          F      Em    D      C         G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
    C
Is You?
          Am           G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
 C    Dm C Dm
