It's briGttle and it treDmbles as the wEmind is coming toAward,
and if you stCring it up it drDies right out with tEmime.
So raise your glGass to that new doDllar in the bEmank we're reaching fAor.
But the drCink was sweeter beDfore we had a dEmime
[Chorus]
But you're fCar DawaEmy noBmw and you've got troublCes all your oDwn
just to sCpend yDour wEmhole lBmife shooting dCownAm  
      Em     DWhat do I kGnow?    What do I kD/Gnow?
[Verse 2]
If you feel restGless where you aDre, it may be eaEmsier to sAtay.
There are a milClion other foDols to make your Embed.
And they'll be cloGsing all the shDades to keep you rEmight there in that grAave.
And I'll be knoCcking 'cause you neDver left my hEmead
[Chorus]
But you're Cfar DawEmay nBmow and you've got troubCles all your Down
just to sCpend yDour wEmhole lBmife counting dCown.Am  
      Em     DWhat do I kGnow?    What do I D/Gknow?

D/G

[Verse 1]

G D Em A

It's brittle and it trembles as the wind is coming toward,

C D Em

and if you string it up it dries right out with time.

G D Em A

So raise your glass to that new dollar in the bank we're reaching for.

C D Em

But the drink was sweeter before we had a dime

[Chorus]

C D Em Bm C D

But you're far away now and you've got troubles all your own

C D Em Bm C Am

just to spend your whole life shooting down

Em D G D/G

What do I know? What do I know?

[Verse 2]

G D Em A

If you feel restless where you are, it may be easier to stay.

C D Em

There are a million other fools to make your bed.

G D Em A

And they'll be closing all the shades to keep you right there in that grave.

C D Em

And I'll be knocking 'cause you never left my head

[Chorus]

C D Em Bm C D

But you're far away now and you've got troubles all your own

C D Em Bm C Am

just to spend your whole life counting down.

Em D G D/G

What do I know? What do I know?

[Outro]

Em D G D/G
