[Verse]
CWide awake while the Emworld is sound asleepin'
DToo afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
CNobody, nobody, nobody sees you
DNobody, nobody would believe you
CEvery day you try to Empick up all the pieces
DAll the memories, they somehow never leave you
CNobody, nobody, nobody sees you
DNobody, nobody would believe you
[Chorus]
 CGod only knows what you've Embeen Dthrough
God only Gknows what they say about you
 CGod only knows how it's Emkilling Dyou
But there's a kind of love that GGod only Cknows
God only knows what you've Embeen Dthrough
God only knows what they Gsay about Cyou
God only knows the real Dyou
There's a kind of Glove that God only Cknows
There's a kind of love that
DThere's a kind of love
 CThere's a kind of love that
DThere's a kind of love
[Verse]
 CYou keep a cover over Emevery single secret
DSo afraid if someone saw them they would leave you
But Csomebody, somebody, somebody Emsees you
DSomebody, somebody will never leave you
