[Intro]
|Em    |G     |D     |C     | x4

[Verse 1]
          Em              D     Dsus4
There are times when I've wondered
    Bm              C     D
And times when I've cried
        Em                D     Dsus4
When my prayers they were answered
   Bm7             Csus2
At times when I've lied

[Verse 2]
           Em       D     Dsus4
But if you ask me a question
        Bm           C     D
Would I tell you the truth
            Em           D    Dsus4
Now there's something to bet on
       Bm7             Csus2
You've got nothing to lose, yeah

[Riff]
|Em    |D     |Bm    |C     | x3
|Em    |D     |Bm7   |C  D  | 

[Verse 3]
          Em         D    Dsus4
When I've sat by the window
    Bm           C    D
And gazed at the rain
        Em         D    Dsus4
With an ache in my heart
          Bm7         Csus2
But never feeling the pain

[Verse 4]
Em           D      Dsus4
If you would tell me
     Bm           C     D
Just what my life means
Em         D       Dsus4
Walking a long road
      Bm7          Csus2
Never reaching the end...

 God give me the answer to my life
Em               D          Bm    C D
 God give me the answer to my dreams
Em               D          Bm     C D
