C   E   F     G              C
But us, like other angry whores
    E    F    G                  Am
Discuss what steps were made before
           C             F   (Fm)
You don't need them anymore


C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know


C    E   F   G                 C
Instead, we read the morning news
    E     F   G              Am
In bed - what endlessness ahead
            C               F   (Fm)
And there's no more to be said


C         G           Dm
You know more than I know
C         G           Dm
You know more than I know
C         G           Dm
You know more than I know


C    E         F        G              C
The blind may see, but stay behind relief
    E   F  G           Am
Of all liability and greed
             C                F     (Fm)
And there's nothing more you need


C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know


(E)
F       E
No-one listens to it
F             E
They don't believe it
              F           Fm
But it's the only way for me


C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know


C     E         F     G
What crap, old chap, fills up the gap
    C        E      F     G                Am
We set like traps, like traps for us, the rats
              C                 F     (Fm)
And there's nothing more to catch


C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know


C     E    F        G             C
Then bury me deep down among the weeds
      E      F         G               Am
That creep into the hearts of all the weak
               C            F     (Fm)
And there's nothing oh so weak


C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
C         G            Dm
You know more than I know
