C               Dm7                                                                                                      
The night never looked 
   G       C 
As dark as this 
         Am          
When the world slipped 
G            F 
Through our fingertips 
C          Dm7 
I held you close 
    G             C 
The tears pouring down 
     Am            G 
With thoughts of him 
F 
Spinning around 
C          Dm7  
A spark of life 
         G         C 
Like the wind to a flame 
Am      G 
Who can stand 
    F 
And who's to blame 
C           Dm7 
And who are we 
        G       C  
When we fail to cope 
      Am 
In the bad times 
   G                 F 
Is where we find our hope 
Bb           F 
We cannot answer 
Bb           F 
We'll never know 
Bb          F 
What is the basic question 
C         F     Eb 
Grows and grows 
Bb               F 
It's a life long mystery 
C             Bb 
Buried in the sand 
           C 
It's all a part 
         F 
Of God's plan 
C           Dm 
So hold me tight 
             G    C 
Through this lullaby 
        Am        G 
There's always tomorrow 
        F 
And the answer is life 
C           Dm7 
And who are we 
        G       C  
When we fail to cope 
       Am   
In the bad times 
   G                 F 
Is where we find our hope 
Bb           F 
We cannot answer 
Bb           F 
We'll never know 
Bb          F 
What is the basic question 
C         F     Eb 
Grows and grows 
Bb              F 
It's a lifelong mystery 
C             Bb 
Buried in the sand 
           C 
It's all a part 
         F 
Of God's plan
