Lyrics

(Bsus2)I’m not a ware of too man y things, I (Asus2)know what I know, if you (Bsus2)know what I mean.

Phi los o phy

is the talk on a (Bsus2)ce re al box.

Re li gion

is the (Asus2)smile on a dog.

I’m not a ware of too man y things, I (Asus2)know what I know, if you (Bsus2)know what I mean.

(Em)Choke me in the (D)shal low wa ter,

be (Em)fore I get too deep.

(Bsus2)What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or what?

What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or what?

(Bsus2)I’m not a ware of too man y things, I (Asus2)know what I know, if you (Bsus2)know what I mean.

Phi los o phy

is a walk on the (Bsus2)slip per y rock.

Re li gion

is a (Asus2)light in the fog.

I’m not a ware of too man y things, I (Asus2)know what I know, if you (Bsus2)know what I mean.

(Em)Choke me in the (D)shal low wa ter,

be (Em)fore I get too deep.

(Bsus2)Choke me in the (Dsus2)shal low wa ter be (Asus2)fore I get too deep.

Choke me in the (Dsus2)shal low wa ter be (Asus2)fore I get too deep.

What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or what you are?

What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or

what?

Don’t let me get too deep.

Don’t let me get too (Asus2)deep.

(Bsus2)What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or what?

(Bsus2)What I am is (Dsus2)what I am, are you (Asus2)what you are or what?
