Just play the E progression nonstop through the verse.
EOfficer you get me wrong, EI was only playin’ my song
EThen you happen to come along, AEnd try to change my key
EMaybe I would like your tune, YEou sprung it on me way too soon
ELike Christmas on the first of June, WEay too soon for me.
 1 x2     E  
EI was strollin’ down the trail of tears,
Ejust to find you campin’ here
EYour rifle and your combat gear, WEish you’d go away
EA Man who lost his memory, AnEother lost his site to see
EIn the great American tragedy, SEound in the bed you’ve made
2                                     E  
Where does the motion picture go
2                                                 E  
Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul
1                      1                 E
Will I ever know
EI wanna’ read a book that’s right, im Egonna’ stay up every night
ETo understand the one big fight, of Epeople tryin’ to be free
EWanting you to write your song, I Edon’t wanna’ wait so long
ETurn it up and play it strong, anEd let the notes go free
2                                     E  
Where does the motion picture go
2                                                 E  
Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul
1                      1                 E
Will I ever know
EMy depression’s my own choice, haEppiness cant find a voice
ECops just come when we rejoice, sEadness of our town
EYou put faith in the lord, anEd feel like you got ignored
EAnonymous and underscored, and always hangin’ around and around
2                                     E  
Where does the motion picture go

1                      1                 E
Will I ever know
EWhat happens when I sleep, WEhen I don’t dream and im in deep
EUnconscious about souls to keep, aEnd unaware of livin’
EIt’s like when I die, wEill I know that I died
EOr if I ever was alive, EOr was I livin’

E E

Officer you get me wrong, I was only playin’ my song

E E

Then you happen to come along, And try to change my key

E E

Maybe I would like your tune, You sprung it on me way too soon

E E

Like Christmas on the first of June, Way too soon for me.

1 x2

I was strollin’ down the trail of tears,

just to find you campin’ here

E E

Your rifle and your combat gear, Wish you’d go away

E E

A Man who lost his memory, Another lost his site to see

E E

In the great American tragedy, Sound in the bed you’ve made

Where does the motion picture go

Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul

1 1 E

Will I ever know

E E

I wanna’ read a book that’s right, im gonna’ stay up every night

E E

To understand the one big fight, of people tryin’ to be free

E E

Wanting you to write your song, I don’t wanna’ wait so long

E E

Turn it up and play it strong, and let the notes go free

Where does the motion picture go

Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul

1 1 E

Will I ever know

E E

My depression’s my own choice, happiness cant find a voice

E E

Cops just come when we rejoice, sadness of our town

E E

You put faith in the lord, and feel like you got ignored

Anonymous and underscored, and always hangin’ around and around

Where does the motion picture go

Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul

1 1 E

Will I ever know

E E

What happens when I sleep, When I don’t dream and im in deep

E E

Unconscious about souls to keep, and unaware of livin’

E E

It’s like when I die, will I know that I died

E E

Or if I ever was alive, Or was I livin’

Where does the motion picture go

Can’t stop the ending to infinitize your soul

1 1 E

Will I ever know Lord I don’t think so
