[Verse]
F C
Oh, I wish I believed, if only for you
G
In a sweet ever after beyond the blue
C F C
In an eternal father, who after the fall
Am G
He cast us all out of the garden
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
But I've found an Eden I can believe in
F Am G
Leavened with nothing but time
[Chorus]
F C
There is grandeur in this view of life
G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
C F C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
G Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
C F C
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
[Verse]
F C
If the devil's own chaplain is leading the prayer
G
From a book that's been written with sorrow and care
C F C
Then his hand is indifferent, but it isn't unkind
Am G
No evil design in his sermon
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
For I hear a chorus of those gone before us
F Am G
Scored upon pages of stone
[Chorus]
F C
There is grandeur in this view of life
G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
C F C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
G Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
C G F Em F G C G C
Why is there something instead of nothing at all___
[Verse]
F C
Oh, what an utter desert is a life without love
G
Would that your blessing alone was enough
C F C
To abandon my doubt in the veil of your tears
Am G
Oh, my dear, how the fabric has fallen
[Pre-Chorus]
F Em
For I've found an Eden I can believe in
F Am G
Free from the master's design
[Chorus]
F C
There is grandeur in this view of life
G
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
C F C
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
G Am
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
C G C
Oh, why is there something instead of nothing at all
