Standard (EADGBE)
I don't need to know,
Why the oceans blue or how the flowers grow.
I don't need to live,
Waiting on someone to forgive me for my sins.
Like my father before me,
I'm a working man, a working man.
But I don't need to believe,
In the something that won't save my sanity.
NOTE: When you hear a slight variation whilst Dallas is strumming the Am chord it is this:
Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.
(Chorus)
The chorus is incredibly easy all you need is:
NOTE: After the last Am you play during the verse you basically strum x00000 twice
the first word in the chorus (No) then play the G chord. (If you can reach it you can play an
or you can just go straight into the G if you want)
But the chorus is just:
No I don't need I don't need to know, no,
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh.
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
How easy is that!
(Verse 2)
The second verse is the same as the the first pretty much the same 3 chords in the same pattern:
It goes:
I don't want to live,
In a world where faces change from day to day.
And I don't want my life to be,
So full of doubt and misery.
The years now pass without a trace.
It's something that I'm learning to embrace.
How most bad nights are spent awake.
Thinking about how I don't want to live that way.
(Chorus)
No I don't want I don't want to live, no,
I don't want to li e, e, ea, e, ive.
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, e, ive,
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, ive.
(Verse 3)
For the most part the same as the other verses except for the last line:
I don't know but I've been told,
That if you don't believe, the devil owns your soul.
Well if this is the truth, then to hell I'll go.
'Cos I don't need to know.
