Could It Be
[Intro]
C Dm C Dm
[Verse]
In the ebb and flow of Gliving
As we Cwander through the yeaAmrs
We're Dmtold to listen Gto a voice
We Emcan't hear with our eaAmrs
They Fsay to live by Gsomething
That you Emcan't see with your Ameyes
Is there Freally Emany Dmpurpose
To this Cfoolish exerGcise?
[Chorus]
Could it Dmbe You make Your Gpresence known
So Emoften by Your Amabsence?
Could it Fbe that questions Gtell us more
Than Emanswers ever doAm?
GCould it Fbe that You would Greally rather Edie
Than live withAmout us?
Could it Fbe the Emonly Dmanswer Cthat means Ganything
Is CYou?
[Interlude]
Dm C Dm
[Verse]
In our words and in our Gsilence
In our Cpride and in our Amshame
To the Dmgenius and the Gscholar
To the Emfoolish and inAmsane
To the Fones who care to Gseek You
To the Emones who never Amwill
You Fare the Emonly Dmanswer Ceven Gstill
[Chorus]
Could it Dmbe You make Your Gpresence known
So Emoften by Your Amabsence?
Could it Fbe that questions Gtell us more
Than Emanswers ever doAm?
GCould it Fbe that You would Greally rather Edie
Than live withAmout us?
Could it Fbe the Emonly Dmanswer Cthat means Ganything
Is CYou?
[Bridge]
It's a Fquestion you can't Canswer
An answer Dmyou cannot Fexpress
That the Bbgentle Man of FSorrow
Is the Dmsource of happiCness
You'll Fnever solve the Cmystery
Of Dmthis magnetic Fman
BbFor you must Fbelieve to underGstaAmndF#m  
[Chorus]
Could it Dmbe You make Your Gpresence known
So Emoften by Your Amabsence?
Could it Fbe that questions Gtell us more
Than Emanswers ever doAm?
GCould it Fbe that You would Greally rather Edie
Than live withAmout us?
Could it Fbe the Emonly Dmanswer Cthat means Ganything
Is CYou?
Could it Fbe the Emonly Dmanswer Cthat means Ganything
