[Verse]
                       G
In the ebb and flow of living
      C                     Am
As we wander through the years
      Dm             G
We're told to listen to a voice
   Em                    Am
We can't hear 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   Dm     C          G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
   C
Is You?

[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
    F       Em   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   Dm     C          G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
   C
Is You?

[Bridge]
       F                  C
It's a question you can't answer
          Dm         F
An answer you cannot express
         Bb            F
That the gentle Man of Sorrow
       Dm             C
Is the source of happiness
       F               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   Dm     C          G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
   C
Is You?
         F      Em   Dm     C          G
Could it be the only answer that means anything
   C
Is You?
