[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D                     
I wonder why it is the 
 F#7              Bm
sky\'s so quiet tonight
        Em7   F#7  
There\'s not a cloud 
    Bm7
in sight
Em7            A
  Just burning stars
         D            
It seems strange to me, 
      F#7             Bm
the way the waves obey
    Em        F#7       Bm
The moon that shines above
    Em7                A
And draws them to eternity

[Chorus]
         D             
I wonder why it is that 
 F#                Bm7
you are here with me
G A        D
  I wonder why

[Instrument]
F#7   Bm7   Em7   
 Bm7   Em7   Asus4 A

[Verse 2]
(D)      D            
I wonder why it is the 
 F#7             Bm
sea\'s so calm tonight
    Em7       F#7     Bm7
The sands are ghostly white
Em7           A
  Beneath the moon
         D            
It seems strange to me 
    F#7              Bm
to stand in endless space
    Em        F#7     Bm
And know that in this place
    Em7            
I\'m held within its 
 A
timeless sway

[Chorus]
         D             
I wonder why it is that
 F#                Bm7
 you are here with me
G A        D
  I wonder why

[Bridge]
    Gm7           C7  
The wisdom of the world 
       Fmaj7        A#maj7
with all its mystery
   Em7               
Is strangely haunting
 A7               Dmaj7
 me on this great shore
  G#m7             C#7  
I know no book can teach,
      F#maj7         Bmaj7
 but I  can feel tonight
    Em7            A7
The sky above, the sea below
    A7
And you my love

[Chorus]
(D)         D             
Tonight the world is mine,
       F#7            Bm7
 we\'re on the edge of time
G A        D
  I wonder why

(E)      E            
I wonder why it is the
 G#               C#m
 sky\'s so quiet tonight
        F#m   G#m      C#m
There\'s not a cloud in sight

 is on the edge of time

  I wonder why
F#m B      E*
  I wonder why
