The Moody Blues

C  Bb  G  F
  Eb F Eb D
        Eb F Eb D         Eb F Eb D
        Aaahhhhhhh~~  Aaahhhhhhh~~
           F C add4
              Adim G11 C add4 (x2)
                                     Adim  G11     C  add4
                   Why do we never get an answer
                   When we're knocking at the door
                   With a thousand million questions
                   About hate and death and war?

                   Cause when we stop and look around us
                   There is nothing that we need
                   In a world of persecution
                   That is burning in its greed

       Eb F Eb D         Eb F Eb D
       Aaahhhhhhh~~  Aaahhhhhhh~~
          G11  C add4
             Adim G11 C add4 (x2)

                   Why do we never get an answer
                   When we're knocking at the door?
                   Because the truth is hard to swallow
                   That's what the war of love is for
                                                                            C Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7 C

                                                         Fmaj7            Em
                                      It's not the way that you say it
                                                       Dm                         C
                                      When you do those things to me
                                                            Fmaj7            Em
                                      It's more the way that you mean it
                                                       G                          C
                                      When you tell me what will be

                                      And when you stop and think about it
                                      You won't believe it's true
                                      That all the love you've been giving
                                      Has all been meant for you

                                                                              G                                          C
                                                           I'm looking for someone to change my life
                                                                              G      add7               C
                                                           I'm looking for a miracle in my life
                                                                (C)(D) (E)     F                                 C
                                                           And if you could see what it's done to me
                                                                                        G                                            C
                                                           To lose the love I knew, you'd safely lead me through

                                      Between the silence of the mountains
                                      And the crashing of the sea
                                      There lays a land I once lived in
                                      And she's waiting there for me

                                      But in the gray of the morning
                                      My mind becomes confused
                                      Between the dead and the sleeping
                                      And the road that I must choose

                                                           I'm looking for someone to change my life
                                                           I'm looking for a miracle in my life
                                                                                       F                                G
                                                           And if you could see what it's done to me
                                                                                        C
                                                           To lose the love I knew
                                                                                              F                                   C
                                                           You'd safely lead me to the land that I once knew
                                                                                             G                                  C
                                                           To learn as we grow old the secrets of our soul

                                      It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me
                                      It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be
                                                                                                                                             (intro)

                   Why do we never get an answer
                   When we're knocking at the door
                   With a thousand million questions
                   About hate and death and war?

                   Cause when we stop and look around us
                   There is nothing that we need
                   In a world of persecution
                   That is burning in its greed

                Aaahhhhhhh~~

                   Why do we never get an answer
                   When we're knocking at the door...
                                                                                  (fade)
