Go Ask

      C                        Dm
Don't ask me to explain to you how one could start again,
   F                     G             C
Or hardened hearts could soften like a child.
      C                      Dm
Don't ask me how to reason out the mysteries of life,
   F               G               C
Or how to face its problems with a smile.


[Chorus]
   C
Go ask the man who's found the way through tangled roads back home to stay
     F                         C
When all communications were destroyed.
   C
Go ask the child who's walking now who once was crippled, and then somehow
    D7                                 G  G7
Her useless legs were made to jump for joy.
   C
Go ask the one who's burned out mind has been restored; I think you'll find
    F                           C
The question's not important as before.
      F                             C             A7             Dm
Don't ask me if He's good or bad; I only know the guilt I had is gone,
            G            C      Db
And I can't tell you any more.


[Verse 2]
      Db                          Ebm
Don't ask me how to prove to you why I know God is there,
   Gb              Ab                Db
Or how I know that He would care for you.
          Db                        Ebm
And don't ask me why Someone so great would choose to walk with me
    Gb              Ab                  Db
And trade my broken life for one that's new.


[Chorus]
   Db
Go ask the child who's got a dad to love away the hurt he had
  Gb                                       Db
Before this man called Jesus touched their lives.
   Db
Go ask the one whose fears have fled, whose churning heart was quieted
     Eb7                                Ab  Ab7
When Someone whispered peace to all her strife.
   Db
Go ask the man to tell you more whose life was just a raging war
  Gb                                 Db
Inside himself self until the Savior came.
  Gb                             Db           Bb7
I don't pretend to be so wise; I only know He touched my eyes,
    Ebm               Ab          Db
And nothing else will ever be the same.


[Ending]
         Gb                             Db           Bb7
Oh no, I don't pretend to be so wise; I only know He touched my eyes,
    Ebm               Ab          Db
And nothing else will ever be the same.
