[A] Guess I'd get along [E]
without [C#m] you
[A] If I had [E] no [C#m] choice
[E] It's taken me this long to find you
Done [A] a lot of getting [E] ready for [C#m] this
[A] Some [B] things we [A]
learn [E] so [C#m] slow
[E] But look at you, you've got plenty behind you
[A] [E]
[F#m] There's lots of ways to hit the ground
[E] Not many answers [A] to be found
We're [C#m] [F#m] faced with mysteries profound
And [E] this is [A] one of [E] the best ones
[A] [C#m] [B]
One [E] of [A] the [E] best ones
[A] This [E]
is one of [A] the [C#m] best [A] ones
There [B]
[E] [A]
[E] [A] [B]
[A]
are eight million [C#m] mysteries
In [A]
[B] the [A] [E] naked
[C#m] [F#] body
[E] Can't even sight on some distant horizon
[A] Like
[E]
[A] the nine billion [C#m] names of God
[A] Don't bring you any [C#m] closer
To [E]
anyone you [A] can simply [E] set eyes on
[A]
[E]
[F#m] But in the same way it's as real
Don't
[E] always [C#m] recognize [E] what [A] I feel
[F#m]
But of the dancing scenes that life reveals
[E] This is one of the best ones
[A] One [E]
[A] of [C#m] the best [A] ones
This [B]
[E] is [A] one of [E] the best ones
[A] Say [B] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] [B]
[A] what you will
[G#m] [E] There's no snake oil or pill
[F#m] Can make love less painful [E] or fine
There's
[A] no theater
[G#m] Even of the absurd
[F#m] Can express what goes on in this meeting of hearts and minds
[Bm]
[Em] Guess [A] I'd [B] get along [A]
[E] without you
[C#m] If
[A] I had [E] no [C#m] choice
But
[E] please never make it so I have to
Paid
[A] a [B] lot of dues [A]
[C#m] to get here
And [G#m]
[A] after [E] all this [C#m] life
I'm
[E] a loser [A] if I [E] don't live with you
[A] There's [E]
[F#m] lots of ways to hit the ground
[E] Not many answers to be [A] found
[C#m] But [F#m] faced with mysteries profound
[E] And this is one of the best ones
[A] This [B] [E]
is one [A] of the [C#m] best [A] ones
[B] One
[E] [A] of the [E] best [A] ones
[B] [E]
One [A] of the [E] best ones
[A] One [E]
of [A] the [C#m] best [A] ones
