Am7
I hear this old story before
Dm7
Where the people keep killing for the metaphors
G7 C B/C
Don't leave much up to the imagination,
Am7
So I, wanna give this imagery back
Dm7
But I know it just ain't so easy like that
G7 C
So, I turn the page and read the story again
B/C F
And again and again
Dm
It sure seems the same, but with a different name
G7
We're breaking and rebuilding
G7
And we're growing, Always guessing,
CHORUS:
Am7 Dm7
Never knowing
G7 C
Shocking but we're nothing
Am7 Dm7
We're just moments
G7 C
We're clever but we're clueless
Am7 Dm7
We're just human
G7 C
Amusing but confusing
Am7 Dm7 G7 C
Were trying but where is this all leading
Am7
Never Know
Am7* | Dm7* | G7* | C* |

Am7
It all happened so much faster than you could say disaster
Dm7
Wanna take a time lapse and look at it backwards
G7 C
From the last word and maybe thats just the answer
B/C
That we're after
Am7
But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Dm7
Just one breath in a chain of thought
G7 C B/C F
The moments just combusting Feel certain but we'll never never know
Dm
Just seems the same, give it a different name
G7
We're beggin’ and we're needing
G7
And we're trying and we're breathing
CHORUS:
Am7 Dm7
Never knowing
G7 C
Shocking but we're nothing
Am7 Dm7
We're just moments
G7 C
We're clever but we're clueless
Am7 Dm7
We're just human
G7 C
Amusing but confusing
Am7 Dm7 G7 C
Were Helping, rebuilding and we’re growing
B/C Am7
Never Know
Am7* | Dm7* | G7* | C* |
Am7*
Knock knock on the door to door
Dm7*
Tell you that the metaphor is better than yours
G7*
And you can either sink or swim
C *
Things are looking pretty grim
Am7 Dm7
If you don't believe in what this one feeding
G7
Its got no feeling
C
So I read it again
B/C F
And again and again
F
Just seems the same
Dm
Too many different names
G7
Our hearts are strong our heads are weak
G7
We'll always be competing
CHORUS:
Am7 Dm7
Never knowing
G7 C
Shocking but we're nothing
Am7 Dm7
We're just moments
G7 C
We're clever but we're clueless
Am7 Dm7
We're just human
G7 C
Amusing but confusing
Am7 Dm7
But the truth is
G7 C
All we got is questions
Am7*
we’ll never know
Dm7*
Never know
G7*
Never Know
C*
Never Know
