Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]There was a man back in ninetyfive
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I ask[Em]ed him
Wait, what's the sense in life?
Come [C]over me, come [D]over me?
[G]He said, son why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a [G]Dylan song,
or some eclipse of the moon?
Let an [Em]angel swing and make you swoon
Then [C]you will see, [D]you will see

[Chorus 1]
Then he [C]said, here's a [D]riddle for you
[G]Find the answe[Em]r,
there's a [C]reason for the [D]world

[Interlude 1]
You and I
[G]
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything
'Cause in the world today
You can't [Em]live in a castle far away
Now [C]talk to me, come [D]talk to me
He said, [G]dad I'm big,
but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things,
well we're nothing at all
Still every [Em]mother's child
sings a lonely song
So [C]play with me, come [D]play with me

[Chorus 2]
And hey [C]dad, here's a [D]riddle for you
[G]Find the answe[Em]r,
there's a [C]reason for the [D]world
You and [G]I I[F] sa[C]id,[G]
[C]son for all[D] I've told you
[G]When you[D] get rig[Em]ht down to the
[C]Reason for the [D]world
who am I?
[G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]There are sec[D]rets
that we [G]still have left to [Em]find
[C]There have been mys[D]teries,
from the be[G]ginning of [F]time
[C]There are an [D]swers,
we're not [G]wise e[D]nough to [E]see
He said, you're [C]looking for a clue?
I love you [D]free

[Verse 3]
[G]The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A [Em]song plays on while the moon is hiding
[C]Over me,
Something [D]come over me?
[G]I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man
you know we got it all
'Cause we're [Em]all we got on this
bouncing ball
And I [C]love you free, I [D]love you freely

[Chorus 3]
[C]Here's a rid[D]dle for you
[G]Find the answe[Em]r,
there's a [C]reason for the [D]world
You and [G]I
[G][G]
