[Verse 1]
[A]Two, three, [G]go[D][A][G][D][A]
[D]You can go [G]your way an
[D]d I will go [G]my way
[D]You can have [G]your say
and [D]I will have m[A]ine
[D]You can be [G]my friend, [D]I will be y[G]our friend
[D]You can be [G]my friend and [D]I will be f[A]ine
[G]Is it the answer [D]we [A]seek?
[G]How does [D]it stand as [A]we speak?

[Verse 2]
The [D]world is un[G]friendly,
there's [D]reason to [A]fear
In the [D]wink of an [G]eye you
could [D]see [G]it all crumble
I [D]saw someone [G]mumble,
the [D]time may [A]be near
[G]Is it the [D]laughter we [A]seek?
[G]Is it the [D]role of the meek?
[A]Is it [G]the an[D]swer [A]in Greek?
[G]Is it the soul of [A]a geek?

[Verse 3]
The [D]earth is a [G]slumber the [D]guard is [A]away
On [D]their midnight [G]watch when
there'll [D]be no mis[A]take
[G]Is it the [D]gold that we [A]seek?
[G]Is it the [D]minds of the [A]meek?
[G]Is it the time of [D]the [A]week?
[G]Where does it stand as [D]we speak[A] ?

[Verse 4]
[D]You can [G]go your way and I [D]will go [G]mine
[D]You can have you[G]r say
and [D]I will have m[A]ine
[D]You can think [G]your way and
[D]I will think m[G]y way
[D]You can try [G]your way and [D]I will be f[A]ine
[G]What is the answer [D]we [A]seek?
[G]Where does it [D]stand as we [A]speak?

[Verse 5]
The [D]world is un[G]sightly,
there's [D]reason to [A]be
In the [D]wink of an [G]eye we could
[D]feel the dream [G]shatter
So [D]what [G]be the matter
for what shall [A]we see?
[G]Is it [D]the laughter we [A]seek?
[G]Is it the [D]role of the [A]meek?
[G]Is it the time of the [A]week?
[G]Is it the [D]soul of [A]a geek?

[Verse 6]
The [D]night is un[G]certain,
the [D]guard is at [A]hand
On [D]their midnight [G]watch over [D]fear in the [A]land
[G]Is it the [D]laughter we [A]seek?
[G]Is it the minds of [D]the [A]meek?
[G]Is it the an[D]swer in [A]Greek?
[G]How does it [D]stand as we [A]speak

[Outro 1]
