Intro: Dm | Dm

     Dm               Em^5-
I’ve asked my angels, why?
A              Dm
But they don’t know.
                    Gm
What for do mothers cry
C₇         F
And rivers flow?
                     Am  D              Gm
Why are the skies so blue and mountains high?
Gm₇         Em₇^5-            A       Dm
What for is your love always passing by?

     Dm             Em^5-
I’ve asked my uncle Joe,
A₇           Dm
But he can’t speak.
                        Gm
Why does the wind still blow
C₇              F
And blood still leaks?
                  Am₇^5- D₇       Gm
So many questions now with no reply,
Gm₇         Em₇^5-         A₇       Dm
What for do people live until they die?

Chorus:
  Dm          A₇
     What for are we living?
  Dm          Gm
     What for are we crying?
  C₇          F
     What for are we dying?
     Em₇^5-    A₇        Dm
     Only Mr. God knows why.

              A₇
     What for are we living?
  Dm          Gm
     What for are we dreaming?
  C₇          F
     What for are we losing?
     Em₇^5-    A₇        Bb
     Only Mr. God knows why.

                   A             Dm
   But his phone today is out of range.

Dm                Em₇^5-
The sun in colour black
A₇        Dm
Is rising high,
                    Gm
The time is turning back,
C₇       F
I wonder why.
                  Am₇^5- D₇       Gm
So many questions now with no reply,
Gm₇         Em₇^5-         A₇       Dm
What for do people live until they die?

Chorus:
     What for are we living?
     What for are we crying?
     What for are we dying?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we dreaming?
     What for are we losing?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we crying?
     What for are we dying?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we dreaming?
     What for are we losing?
     Em₇^5-    A₇        Bb
     Only Mr. God knows why.
          Asus₄ A₇  Dm
     Only God knows why...
