The Great Puzzle - Jules Shear
     G                   Am             C                   G
Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too
many suns
     C                   G                                  D
So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we're not the only
ones
     G              Am                  C         G
Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound
     C              G                                  D
Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it's run
aground
     C                                       D
And I'm thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we're not thinking
at all
     C                                  D
I've got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be
solved
CHORUS:
     Am                            C                Am                     C
Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths,  Like all the questions
that it does no good to ask
     Am                  D                   C                        G
Some might accept it, some might complain,  It's a great puzzle, but you've
gotta like games

     G                   Am             C         G
Like a candle that's been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke
     C                   G                        D
     G                   Am                  C         G
A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it's real
     C              G                        D
But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels
     C                                       D
And I'm thinking aloud too much, giving too much up,  I can't wait to see the
world as it is
     C                                       D
And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny
detail I miss
CHORUS
ADD:
               C                   G
You've gotta like games, and working them through
                    D         Am                            G
Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you
 
     C                                                           D
I've met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they
think they've figured it out
     C
Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can't be hurt by any storm, 
     D
And they think they know what life is about

     Am                            C                 Am                    C
But it's a maze where you could take a thousand paths  It's all the questions
that it does no good to ask
     Am                  D
Some might reject it, some go insane
     C                          G                      C                   
It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games,  It's a great puzzle, but
                    G    CGCG
 you've gotta like games
