There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
F#m
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
D E
Come over me, Come over me
A
He said,
Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
F#m
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
D E
Then you will see... You will see
D
Then he said,
E
Here's a riddle for you
A F#m
Find the Answer
D E
There's a reason for the world
A (repeat)
You and I...

Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
F#m
You can't live in a castle far away
D E
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
A
Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
F#m
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
D E
So play with me, come play with me
D
And Hey Dad

There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
D E A F#
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
A
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
F#m D
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
E
Something comes over me
A
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 all we got on this bouncing ball

And I love you free
