Lyrics

Do you know

where you’re go ing to?

Do you like the (A7)things that life is (Dm)show ing you?

Where are you (Gm6)go ing to,

do you (D)know?

Do you get

what you’re hop ing for?

When you look be (A7)hind you there’s no (Dm)o pen door.

What are you (Gm6)hop ing for,

do you (D)know?

Once (E)we were stand ing (A)still

in (A)time,

chas ing the fan ta sies that (D)filled our minds.

And you knew how I (E)loved you, but my spir it was (F#m7)free,

laugh ing at the ques tions (D)that you (A7)once asked of me.

Do you know

where you’re go ing to?

Do you like the (A7)things that life is (Dm)show ing you?

Where are you (Gm6)go ing to,

do you (D)know?

Now (E)look ing back at (A)all

we (A)planned,

we let so man y dreams just (D)slip through (G)our (D)hands.

Why must we (E)wait so long

be fore we (F#m7)see

how sad the an swers to those (A7)ques tions can be?

(D)know?
