D                 A              Bm      A
Why do bad things happen to good people?
        G     A        D
I don't know, but they do
    D                    A               Bm  A
And (D)why is this world full of so much ego
            G     A        D
And so much pain? I wish I knew
Bm         A             G
When I see God I'm gonna ask Him
Bm          A                   G
But I don't know when that'll be

[Chorus]
        D       A      G          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing
G       D       Em                  A
All the answers I've been searching for
D          A     G          D
My time on earth is getting shorter
       G       D                  Em
And my list of questions keeps on growing
    D   G              A          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing

[Verse 2]
D                A           Bm        A
Why is life down here such a struggle?
          G    A        D
Trouble's all I've ever known
    D          A            Bm      A
And when I die will I go to heaven?
                G    A     D
And will it be  like going home?

Bm           A                   G
Will my lost loved ones be there waiting?
Bm         A                 G
There's no way to know right now

[Chorus]
        D       A      G          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing
G       D       Em                  A
All the answers I've been searching for
D          A     G          D
My time on earth is getting shorter
       G       D                  Em
And my list of questions keeps on growing
    D   G              A          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing

[Bridge]
C                       G
Knowing how it feels to stand among the Angels
    C                              A
And why sometimes they don't inter-vene

[Chorus]
        D       A      G          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing
G       D       Em                  A
All the answers I've been searching for
D          A     G          D
My time on earth is getting shorter
       G       D                  Em
And my list of questions keeps on growing
    D   G              A          D
But I'm one day closer to one day knowing
