Verse: A, D
Chorus: E, F, G, A
“Why can’t you see”: Variations on A
My strings are broken and my heart is out of tune
I wanted quiet but all I see is you
I don’t know anything
I stumbled forward and you let me walk away
We both know I’ll be running back to you someday
I don’t know anything
The earth is spinning but my feet are standing still
And the wind is biting but I’m fighting off the chill
I don’t know anything
So let’s pretend for just one minute
The world, the world, the world, the world
The world is mine but you’re not there
They say time’s a healer but my watch can’t tell the time
The left hand’s stuck six months ago and I can’t find the right
I don’t know anything
The pen is stronger than any sharpened sword
But everything I write to you makes me feel like a fool
I don’t know anything
I feel like I can do anything
Why don’t you understand
Why don’t you see what I could be
Why can’t you see
I’d trade in the world for you
