[CHORUS]
[Eb]Ask the children what you[Cm] wanna know
[F]Light the night for[Bb] me
[Eb]Use the road when the[Cm] prophets go
[F]Though your eyes can’t[Bb] see [C](Though your eyes can’t see)

[VERSE 1]
[F]I wonder why you[Am] crawl inside her
And[Bb] back when you find[F] no one [Fsus4] [F]
[F]Alone and cried, you[Am] stayed to die
Working[Bb] hard and having no[F] fun
[F]Rest your oars and[Am] drift ashore
Let you[Bb]rself let out and[F] run
Step us in,[F] na na na...

[CHORUS]
[Eb]Ask the children what you[Cm] wanna know
[F]Light the night for[Bb] me

[F]Though your eyes can’t[Bb] see
[Eb]Sweetly filled from the[Cm] tender well
[F]Drink to all you[Bb] need [Eb]

[VERSE 2]
[F]I hear you cry while you’re[Am] preaching crime
To the[Bb] ways love should’ve been[F] done
[F]Be the smile, and[Am] open wide
Lift your[Bb] face into the[F] sun
[F]Na na na...

[CHORUS]

[F]Though your eyes can’t[Bb] see
