D
You can spend all your days in the grind, converting your nickels to dimesA  
You can stuff Dall your pockets till they overflGow,
Don't chu-know, Ddon't chu know, don't Achu knowD  
D
You can say you're too old to be young, you think you're to smart to be dumbA  
But the wellD-seasoned pro knows how long he can go,G  
Don't chu-know, Ddon't chu-know, don't Achu knowD  
              G                                             D
You can sing ev'ry song that's been sung, conquer the moon and the sun
But if yGou ask me, it's all both been said and been doneA  
                D
We're just recycled hist'ry machines, cavemen in faded blue jeansA  
It's the unaDnswered question in each one of Gus,
Don't chu-know, Ddon't chu-know, don't Achu-knowD  
       C                                             G
The more we learn the less we know, what you keep Dis what you can't let go
 C                                    G
Take it fast or take it slow, just one way for you Dto go, don't chu-know
(Let's go now)
You can sing eGv'ry song that's been sung, conquer the moon aDnd the sun
But if yoGu ask me, it's not in the race that you runA  
            D
It's that outcast in each one of us, who gets the girl who is too glamorousA  
There's no one to Ddecieve it's just all make-beliGeve
Don't chu-know, Ddon't chu-know, don't Achu-knowD  
Don't chu-know, Ddon't chu know, don't Achu knowD
