[Verse 1]
Em D Dsus4
There are times when I've wondered
Bm C D
And times when I've cried
Em D Dsus4
When my prayers they were answered
Bm7 Csus2
At times when I've lied
[Verse 2]
Em D Dsus4
But if you ask me a question
Bm C D
Would I tell you the truth
Em D Dsus4
Now there's something to bet on
Bm7 Csus2
You've got nothing to lose, yeah
[Riff]
Em D Bm C

[Verse 3]
Em D Dsus4
When I've sat by the window
Bm C D
And gazed at the rain
Em D Dsus4
With an ache in my heart
Bm7 Csus2
But never feeling the pain
[Verse 4]
Em D Dsus4
If you would tell me
Bm C D
Just what my life means
Em D Dsus4
Walking a long road
Bm7 Csus2
Never reaching the end...
[Riff]
