[Verse 1]
[A]Okay.[D][A][D][A][D]
I was but a child then
Although I didn't know it yet
[G]I suspect I'm still a c[D]hild now
Although we grow in intellect
Learning that we must reflect
Mis[G]takes that we have made
We make them [D]yet again
[A]And as time goes [D]by
It [A]seems in fact the more we question [D]why
The [G]less the world has in
[A]terest to [D]reply
Always grabbing hold of things
Pretending that we're knowing things
[G]None of us has power to [D]command
Well I knew that I loved you once
What good did it bring to us?
What [G]meaning can have this love,
a woman for a [D]man?
[A]And as time goe[D]s by
[A]It seems in fact the more
we question [D]why
[Asus4]The less [A]the [G]world has
[A]in terest to [D]reply
What of all my questions then?
Are they a form of insolence?
For [G]I am but a baby in my
mother's ancient arm[D]s
[A]And if the more I question [D]why[Asus4]
[A]The less the world will give
me in [D]reply[Asus4]
[A]I'll [G]learn to stop my ques[A]tions by and by

[Outro 1]
