The Answer

C Am F G C
Am F

[Verse]
G       C
For the life of me
          Am
Ya know I can't recall
   F                            
My father giving mighty words of 
 G
wisdom
               C
But the more I live I see
             Am
The greatest gift of all
         F
Is how I always knew for sure
       G
He was Listening
     F
To a million questions
C             G
I felt like a fool to ask
         F              C
When I'd ask him for an answer
          G
He'd just laugh

[Chorus]
            F                      
And say the more I learn the more I
           C
 learn how little that I know
        G
But I'm close to understanding
         F                C
Just how far I have to go
            Am
We give our hearts
            F
We take our chances

             C              G
And know the fool ain't the one
             Am
With all the questions
            F                  G
To tell the truth it's someone who
                       C
Believes they have the answer

[Instrumental]
Am F G C (x2)

[Verse]
         C
In the years since then
        Am
When my children come
        F
Pouring out their hearts
               G
This old world has broken
         C
I do the listening
           Am
I see what good it does
     F                G
When less not more is spoken
              F                C
And when they press me hard to tell 
them
         G
What the answer is
    F               C
I remember well and simply
      G
Offer this

[Chorus]
            F                      
And say the more I learn the more I
           C
 learn how little that I know
        G
But I'm close to understanding
         F             C
Just how far I have to go
            Am
We give our hearts
   G        F
We take our chances
             C              G
And know the fool ain't the one
             Am
With all the questions
