                       "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]
