Know It All

 
C                   Am      Em                      F 
We were taught that honesty would set you right and keep you free 
C               G            F 
Don't seem much like that anymore 
     C                    Am 
I've never been afraid to say what I think 
   Em                 F 
It just got worse the more I drank 
     C                     G             F 
So I put that down to find peace I never knew 
F 
What do I know? 
 

 
      C                    Am 
Every generation says it's worse than the last 
      Em 
If we had nine lives 
        F 
I think eight have passed 
  C                  G              F 
I can't believe what I look out and see 
C                          Am 
Call it what you will, for progress made 
     Em               F 
From where I stand, a spade's a spade 
C               G               F 
Some things are still black and white 
          Dm 
What do I know? 
        Am 
What do I know? 
        C 
What do I know? 
 

 
      C                  Am 
Got a teenage girl and a shaggy-haired boy 
Em                          F 
Their mama's still my pride and joy 
        C             G                   F 
We hope our kids have learned from our mistakes 
    C                     Am 
And they've seen fire and they've seen rain 
   Em                              F 
It seems that we're leaving them a world insane 
   C               G              F 
We just pray we prepared them for their way 
               Dm 
But what do we know? 
         Am 
What do we know? 
         C 
What do we know? 
 

 
        Dm 
There's things I know that I don't know 
Am 
In plain sight but do not show 
              C                                    G 
And there are words that I can't find, and I never will 
        Dm 
There's truth that I seek desperately 
        Am 
There's so much more than we can't see 
           C 
And it's a different kind of thirst 
                 G 
Now that gets my fill 
        Dm 
What do I know?

        Dm 
There's truth that I seek desperately

There's so much more than we can't see 
           C
