I Know There's An Answer
The Beach Boys

(Brian Wilson / Terry Sachen)

 Intro:

         (organ) [4X; winds and bass harmonica enter 3rd time]:

         Bb           F7
         /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

 Verse 1:

                Bb                   F7                   Bb
         I know so many people who think they can do it alone
                                       F7                   Bb
         They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone

         Db              Ab/Gb
         Now what can you tell them
         Db               Ab             Gm    Fm     Eb
         And what can you say that won't make them defensive

 Chorus:

         Bb/F               Gm 
         I know there's an answer
         Bb/F              Gm            Cm7        Cm7/F
         I know now but I have to find it by myself

 Verse 2:

         They come on like they're peaceful
         But inside they're so uptight
         They trip through their day
         And waste all their thoughts at night

         Now how can I come on
         And tell them the way that they live could be better

 [repeat chorus]

 Wind break:

         (winds arr. for guitar):
