                       "I Know There's An Answer"
                     (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]
