I Don´t Even Know Myself
The Who
Capo on 3 Intro: | | | | | | | | | | | | There’s- verse 1: | | nothin’ in the way I walk that can | | tell you where I’m going. There’s | | nothing in the words I speak that can | | betray anything I’m knowing. Don’t | | | think about the way I dress. You can | | fit me on a labeled shelf | | Don’t pretend that you know me ’cause | | I don’t even know my-self I don’t know my- | | self | | | | | | I don’t mind if you try once in a while. And- | | | | I don’t mind if I cry once in a while. The- | | | | doors aren’t shut as tight as they might seem. And- | | | | I’m just tryin to fight my way out of this dream. | | | | Don’t- verse 2: | | listen to the words I say weighing up | | if I’m en-lightened. Don’t | | shiver as you pass me by ’cause mister | | I’m the one who’s frightened. The | | police just came and left; they wanted | | me and no one else. | | Don’t pretend that you know me ’cause | | I don’t even know my-self I said I don’t know my- | | self | | (Chorus) (verse 3 Instrumental) Interlude: Do- | | you remember me? I- | | don’t remember you. | | Do you still love me? You- | | know I think you do. | | I have been gone and some | | prison warden knows my scream. | | I’m just tryin’ to fight my way out of this | | dream. verse 4: | | There’s only five who know my real name. My | | mother don’t believe they know it. What she | | called me is the way I’m staying; And | | no one will ever blow it. | | | Come on all of you big boys | | Come on all of you elves | | Don’t pretend that you know me ’cause | | I don’t even know my-self I don’t know my- | | self | | Outro: | | | | I don’t mind if you try once in a-while. And | | | | I don’t mind if I cry once in a-while | (ends on beat 1)
