Lyrics
I (A)thought I did (D)what's (A)right.
I thought I (Bm7)had the (Esus)answers.
(E)I (A)thought I chose (Bm)the (C#m)surest road (D)but (Bm7)that road brought me (E)here.
(Asus)So (A)I put up (D)a fight
(A)and told you (Bm7)how to help (Esus)me.
(E)Now (A)just when I (Bm7)have (C#m)given up,
(D)the (Bm7)truth is coming clear.
(A)You (Amaj7)know (D)(Bm7)better than I,
(E)you (A)(Amaj7)know (D)the way.
(E)I've let (A)(Amaj7)go
(D)the need (Bm7)to know (Bm9)why,
(F#m)for you (Bm7)know better than
(E7sus)I.
(A)If this has been (D)a test,
(A)I cannot see (Bm)the (Esus)reason.
(E)But (A)maybe (Bm)knowing (C#m)I don't know
(D)is (Bm7)part of getting through.
(Asus)I (A)try to do (D)what's (A)best
and faith has made (Bm)it (Esus)easy
(E)to (A)see the best (Bm)thing (C#m)I can do
(D)is (Bm7)put my trust in you.
(E)For you (A)(Amaj7)know
(D)(Bm7)better than I,
(E)you (A)(Amaj7)know (D)(Dmaj9)the way.
(E)I've let (A)(Amaj7)go
(D)the need (Bm7)to know (Bm9)why
(F#m)for you (Bm7)know better than
(E7sus)I.
(A)I (F)saw one (C)cloud and thought (Am7)it was (Em11)the sky.
(A)I (F)saw a bird (C)and thought (Am7)that I (G)could (Dsus)follow.
(D)But (F)it was you (C)who taught (Am7)that bird (G)to fly.
(D)If I let (A)you reach (Bm7)me,
will you teach
(D)me? For (E7)you
(Bmaj7)know (G#m7)(C#m11)better (C#m9)than I,
(F#)you (B)(Bmaj7)know (E)(Emaj7)the way.
(F#)I've let (D)(Dmaj7)go
(G)the (D)need (Em7)to know (Bm)(Em7)why;
(B)I'll take (Emaj7)what (F#)answers you
(Emaj7)supply...
