Lyrics

Look at this (C)face,

I know the years are show ing.

Look at this (C)life, I (F)still don’t know where it’s go ing.

I (Fmaj7)don’t know (G)much,

but I (Em7)know I (F)love you,

and (G)that may be (F)all I (G)need to (Csus)know.

Look at these (C)eyes,

they’ve nev er seen what mat ters.

Look at these (C)dreams,

so beat en, (F)and so bat tered.

I don’t know much,

but I (Em7)know I (Fmaj7)love you,

and (G)that may be all I need to (C)know.

So man y (D7)ques tions

still left un an (Cmaj7)swered.

So much I’ve (F)nev er bro ken through.

But when I (Eb)feel you near me some times I (Ebmaj9)see so clear ly.

The on ly (Eb)truth I’ve ev er known is (Eb)me and you.

Look at this (Eb)man,

so blessed with in spi ra tion.

Look at this (Eb)soul, still (Ab)search ing for sal va tion.

I (Abmaj7)don’t know (Bb)much,

but I (Gm7)know I (Ab)love you,

and (Bb)that may be all I need to (Eb)know.

I don’t know much,

but I (Gm7)know I (Ab)love you,

and (Bb)that may be all I need to (Eb)know.

I (Abmaj7)don’t know (Bb)much,

but I (Gm7)know I (Ab)love you,

and (Bb)that may be (Abmaj7)all there (Bb)is to know.

Whoa.
