^D Oh I must have left some ^F#m stones unturned
Or ^G could be ^A quite a ^D few
^D There's a lot I've over ^F#m looked and ^G never knew ^A
There's some ^D things you learn while ^F#m getting burned
^G Don't feel good ^A at the ^D time
^D Playing by your ^F#m set of ^Em rules ^G
Pre ^D tending that ^F#m you'll never l ^Em7 ose ^A
D But I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D It just ^F#m took a w ^G hile to fi ^A gure ou ^D t ^{Em D Em
D} There's so much to take for ^F#m granted
When ^G life is ^A going w ^D ell
And when the tides will ^F#m turn no one can t ^G ell ^A
Some ^D wise men knew who p ^F#m layed the blues
That ^G no one has ^A hardly ^D heard
^D The high cost of ^F#m fooling yo ^Em ursel ^G f
^D Not mentio ^F#m ning everyone e ^Em7 lse ^A
D But I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D It just ^F#m took a w ^G hile to fi ^A gure ou ^D t
^C Some myster ^D ies ^C hang on the ^A breeze
SOLO
And we'll ^D all go to some ^F#m big hotel
Where ^G weary h ^A earts can r ^D est
Getting and ^F#m giving m ^Em ore o ^G f the fai ^D th and the h ^F#m ope and the lo ^Em7 ve ^A
D But I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D I know ^F#m better n ^Em7 ow
^D It just ^F#m took a w ^G hile to fi ^A gure ou ^D t
