Everybody [Bb] is wondering what [C] and where they all [F] came from.
Everybody [Bb] is worrying about where [C] they're going to go
when the whole [F] thing's done.
But no one knows [Bb] for certain, and so [F] it's all the [Bb] same to me.
[F] I think I'll [C] just let the [F] mystery be.
Some say what's [Bb] gone, you're gone forever,
[C] and some say you're going [F] to come back.
Some say you rest [Bb] in the arms of the [C] Savior if in sinful [F] ways you lack.
Some say that they're [Bb] coming back in a [F] garden,
a bunch of carrots and a little [Bb] sweet.
[F] I think I'll [C] just let the [F] mystery be.

But I've heard that [Bb] I'm on the road to purgatory,
[C] and I don't like the [F] sound of that.
[Bb] I'll vow to [F] live my life [Bb] accordingly.
