Built to Spill – Understood (Guitar)

Am              Em    G              D
How can I? You hear. How can I? You see.

     Am             Em    G              D
When no one really knows how it's gonna be

     Am           Em           G               D
You read it in a book and you hoped it isn't true

         Am             Em        G            D
And the next thing you know it's happening to you

      Am         Em             G       D
It's been a long time since we took a trip

       Am            Em           G       D
To the bottom of the canyon in a rocket ship

Am            Em     G      D
Nothing's resonating in my mind

        Am      Em         G    D
So I'm doing my best to be unrefined

Am               Em   G          D
You can always choose   but you don't

    Am          Em    G          D
And you can be amused   but you won't

 Am        Em      G         D
There's no way to figure it out

Am          Em     G   D
Life's just understood

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am        Em    G         D
The deaf hear, the blind see

Am              Em      G           D
Just different things than you and me

     Am       Em         G        D
The deaf can hear, the blind can see

 Am                   Em         G              D
That's what I've been told and that's what I believe

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am               Em   G          D
You can always choose   but you don't

    Am          Em    G          D
And you can be amused   but you won't

 Am        Em      G         D
There's no way to figure it out

Am          Em     G   D
Life's just understood

Am             Em  G             D
It's been that way   since the start of it

    Am           Em        G               D
And part of the problem is   we're such a part of it

 Am           Em          G    D
Seems like whatever we do is known

 Am           Em            G     D
Why can't whatever just be left alone

Am        Em    G         D
The blind see, the deaf hear

Am       Em  G        D
Exactly what is not clear

     Am       Em        G        D
The blind can see the deaf can hear

 Am          Em           G       D
Finding out what is my greatest fear

    Am           Em            G           D
You wanna move around and you wanna stay still

    Am           Em        G        D
You wanna have a life but not too real

 Am                 Em           G             D
Don't know what it means but I know what it's like

        Am                 Em        G      D
To be floating down the canyon in a rocket bike

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow

Am         Em        G D
But really I don't kno-ow
