C          Dm      D      G       G  F 
  I wish I knew, I wish I knew

C                Dm           D          G       G  F 
  What makes me, me, and what makes you, you.

C            Dm     D        G     B
  It's just another point of view, oooh.

E            A              D        B
  A state of mind I'm going through, yes.

E           A            D     G         G  F
  So what I see is never true, ahhh.
[Verse 2]
C                Dm      D            G       G  F 
  I wish I could tell, I wish I could tell

C              Dm          D       G       G  F 
  What makes a heaven what makes a hell.

C          Dm     D       G     B
  And do I get to ring my bell, oooh.

E            A             D     B
  Or land up in some dusty cell, no.

E              A             D      G         G  F
  While others reach the big hotel, yeah.

  I wish I had, I wish I had

C               Dm            D         G       G  F 
  The secret of good, and the secret of bad.

C               Dm       D        G    B
  Why does this question drive me mad? ahhh.

E              A                 D    B
  'Cause I was taught when but a lad, yes,

E              A                 D    G         G  F
  That bad was good and good was bad, ahhh.

  That thing called hate, and that thing called love.

C                Dm   D        G      B
  What makes the in-between so rough? ahhh.

E           A               D      B
  Why is it always push and shove? ahhh

E           A                D      G         G  F
  I guess I just don't know enough, yes.
