Genesis - lyrics and chords


Verses and instrumentals are in 3/4, chorus and bridge are in 4/4. C chord at the beginning of each verse line is played with right hand only while the left hand plays a rolling F chord.
[C]        [F]Is there a place beyond the edge of space
[C]        [F]Was there a time before [Bb]time

[C]        [F]If there's a middle and no edges
[C]        [F]That seems a little bit [Bb]suspicious

Is [Dm]everything just [Bb]floating every[F]where?
Can [Dm]anybody [Bb]tell me why it's [F]there[C]?


When I [Dm]look, into the [Am]sky, and my [C]eyes go [F]wide with [Bb]wonder[C]ing
And my [Dm]mind really [Am]tries to [C]understand but it [F]can't hold [Bb]every[C]thing
And there's [C]some kind of [Bb]opening, and a [C]little bit of [Bb]everything gets [F]in


Are there stars beyond the stars beyond
Always on and on and on

Could you go and just keep going
Never stopping never slowing down

Is there no end and no beginning
Can you know what's beyond knowing

Will I know it in the moment when I die?
Will I go there when it's over by and by?


When I [Dm]look, into the [Am]sky, and my [C]eyes go [F]wide with [Bb]wonder[C]ing
And my [Dm]mind really [Am]tries to [C]understand but it [F]can't hold [Bb]every[C]thing
And there's [C]some kind of [Bb]opening, and a [C]little bit of [Bb]everything gets [F]in


Is there a cause without some other cause
Is there a law that makes the other laws

Was there a bang that came from nothing
Or was that not the real beginning

Is there one almighty maker
And who created that creator

Is there no end and no beginning
Can you know what's beyond knowing?
