From the album, ” Whatever” 1993


Intro:  D  G  Em7  A (2X)

  D        G         Em7       A
I know there's a word for this
  D         G        Em7                 A
I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling
  D          G             Em7         A
I know there's a word for this
  D                C       G/b      Gm
I know it and it's on the tip of my tongue
       D/a      E7    G  A
And it won't go any further

  D     G              Em7       A
I know there's a word for this
  D        G            Em7     A
I know cuz it's in the dictionary
        D     G         Em7    A
And when I find what it is
     D        C      G/b            Gm
I'll write it down in case it comes up again
            D/a     E7    G  A
I'll be certain to avoid it


      G         D
So take this down
          Em7   Em7/f# G        D/f#
I just feel   so       beat, and I
G           D/F#
think it's time
         Em7   Em7/f#   G
to admit de  -   feat
D/f#              G        D/f#
I thought I got mine
        C        
but that uphill climbing is
E           G   A
never  through

  D       G              Em7       A
I know there's a word for this
  D       G        Em7                  A
I know cuz we've all at sometime said it
         D      G       Em7  A
Like when we were little kids
       D      C            G/b        Gm
We'd fight each other til someone would give in
               D/a      E7            G    A
And you'd make him tell you uncle

      G         D
So take this down
          Em7   Em7/f# G        D/f#
I just feel   so       beat, and I
G           D/F#
think it's time
         Em7   Em7/f#   G
to admit de  -   feat
D/f#              G        D/f#
I thought I got mine
        C        
but that uphill climbing is
E           G   A
never  through
