1.      I don't know           what lies ahead,

Em              B7                 - Em                  B7

    it's all a mystery, man,          I heard it said.

Em                     B7    - Em                       B7

    You do your thing,           you do your best,

Em               B7                  - Em                B7

    I take a guess at what’ll          happen next.

    All I've got is what I need,

Am                                          Em

    and that's enough, as far as I can see.

C                                                G

    Why should I walk into the great unknown,

Am                                           B7

    when I can sit here, and throw my bones ?

2.     I hear the future           is so divine,

Em                  B7           - Em            B7

    but I'll just wait until I           get a sign.

Em                           B7                         Em                 B7

    'Cause what I've got here, what I'm holding in my hand

Em                   B7                  - Em                  B7

    is better for me than some          promised land.

    Why should I walk into the great unknown,

    you can't escape tomorrow, it's           another day.

Em                    B7         Em                   B7

    I'm hanging here, I'm here on solid ground,

Em                          B7        Em       B7

    'cause heaven's full, or closing down,
