(D)Why do bad things (A/C#)happen to good (Bm)people? (A)
I don't (G)know, (A) but they (D)do

(Bm) When I see (A)God I'm gonna (G)ask Him
(Bm) But I don't (A)know when that'll be (G)

(Chorus)
But I'm (D) one day (A/C#)closer (G) to one day (D)knowing
(G) All the (D/F#)answers (Em)I've been searching (A)for
(D) My time on (A/C#)earth (G) is getting (D)shorter
And my (G) list of (D/F#)questions keeps on (Em)growing

Trouble's (G)all (A) I've ever (D)known
And (D)when I die (A/C#)will I go to (Bm)heaven? (A)
And will it be (G) (A) like going (D)home?

(Bm) There's no (A)way to know right (G)now

(G) All the (D/F#)answers (Em)I've been searching (A)for
(D) My time on (A/C#)earth (G) is getting (D)shorter
