The More That I Know Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ooh[Em], ooh, oo h[C][Am][Dsus4][D]
Time [G]passes and I wonder why
Some [Em]will live while others die
[Am]Sad ness serves a lover blind [D]in love
[G]Love laments with swollen eyes
While [Em]mothers weep,
and fathers try [G]to [Am]disguise
The precious life is [Dsus4]gone for [D]good
[G]Gone for the good of you and me
For [Em]freedom, peace and security
[G]Yet [Am]liberty is [C]only free to [Dsus4]be afraid[D]
[G]Afraid of the news in
the morning poster
[Em]Someone else's holy ghost
[G]Becom[Am] ing what I fear the most,
[Dsus4]what can [D]be done
The more that I [G]know
Wherever I [Em]go
I [G]wanna be [C]close to [Am]you
[D]The more that you [G]say, the more that I [Em]pray,
that I can be [C]close to [Am]you.
[Dsus4]The more [D]that I know,[Em]
[C]the more that I know.
[D]Walk[G]ing through the afternoon,
I've been [Em]listening to the month of
June.
Sun[Am]light turns to cooler
moon in [Dsus4]cricket s[D]ongs
Song[G]s that speak of times,
forgotten [Em]rhymes of rotten fruit
Returning to [Am]the earth,
the breath of life that she [Dsus4]once gave[D]
[G]Gave to give and take away in
the [Em]time I learned to lay
My worries [Am]down upon the shoulders
of [Dsus4]the whispered [D]wind
[G]When it touches everything,
and [Em]everything it touches sings and [Am]dances
Chances seem to fade then [D]reappear
The more that I [G]know, wherever I [Em]go
I wanna be [Am]close to [Dsus4]you
[D]The more that you [G]say, yeah,
more than I [Em]pray
That I can be [Am]close to [D]you
[G]Why must the innocent [Em]suffer so,
[C]from where does evil ari[Am]se?
[G]Who is this infinite
[Em]God of war,
[C]wrapped in an ancient disgui[Am]se?
[Em]Maybe
God [C]and the [Em]devil are one
[C]Just like the earth and the [Em]sky[C]
Maybe I'm living [Em]too
close to the sun
[C]Maybe it's all [Em]been lies
It's all [G]been [Em]lies[C][D]
The more that I [G]know
Wherever I [Em]go
I wanna be [Am]close to [D]you
The more that you say
[G]The more that I p[Em]ray
That I can [Am]be, I can be, I can be
[D]I can be, I can be col[G]d
[Em]I'm close to y[G]ou[Am]
[Dsus4]Oh, oh, o[D]h
Just [G]you, just you
And I pray, [Em]and I pray
Da da da [Am]da da da da...
