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
