Intro: F  C  Dm  Dm  Gm  F  C  C 

Verse: 

F                            C 
I never really got why we're here 
                    Dm 
Just look at all we build in our lives 
And we all disappear 
Gm                           F 
A few of us are born with so much 
                 C 
While most of us just chasing down a dream that we just can't touch 
F                             C 
So why we try so hard in this place? 
                             Dm 
When pain and suffering is a guarantee 
And happiness is a phase 
Gm                           F 
I wonder if one day we're at peace 
             C 
Or will this whole world just become like the middle east? 


                              C                             Dm 
But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger 
          Bb                    F 
I had the answers, i've got to say 
F             C                     Dm 
But all of my answers, now that i'm older 
             Bb                     F 
Turned into questions, in front of me 

Verse: 

F                            C 
I wonder where we go when we die 
                     Dm 
If there is anything past our lost sun and our sky? 
Gm                           F 
Cuz airports only take us so high 
                    C 
Is it hidden in the stars? 
What's the answer to your soul lying? 
I wonder do we get to come back 
I wonder if i will remember these questions i've asked 
Or will i just star over again? 
I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends. 

Chorus (2x) 

Verse: 

I wonder if we get one true love 
Or maybe there's a few out there 
Or maybe not even one 
I wonder if it's made up by man 
I wonder if love is what we make with our own two hands 
I wonder why i write all these songs 
I wonder if you know what you're saying when you sing along 
And will you know my name when i'm gone? 
Or are you just too sick of these love songs? 


                            C                              Dm 
But when i (we) was (were) younger, when i (we) was (were) younger 
       Bb                       F 
I had the answers, i've got to say 
F             C                     Dm 
But all of my answers, now that i'm older 
           Bb                            F 
Turned into questions, right in front of me 
F                 C               Dm 
Right in front of me, in front of me 
           Bb                   F          C         Dm        Bb      F 
Everythings changes in front of me
