[No capo] [Verse]
                      G
I don’t mean to speak so collectively

                                Am
I know I don’t make it easy to even wanna hear it

                                          C
What can I say, what can I say, what can I say?

                           C
‘Cause the more I recite it the more you wanna fight it

           G
The more my language is sounding fabricated
[Pre-chorus]
              Am
But if there’s one thing I know

              Am
It’s that the growing is slow or the cuts to the bone

          C
Moving too quickly

         Am
So I keep half of my words in my mouth

        Am
Let the syllables fall out

           C
At a steady trickling

                 C
I’ll be your roof caving in
[Chorus]
G                            Am      C
     You don’t know what you don’t know yet

          D
Yeah, I go on forgetting it

            D
Don’t you go on forgetting it, too
G Am C
            D                  Am
Don’t you go on forgetting it
G Am C D [Verse]
                    Am
I don’t mean to speak so intrusively

                                   C
I know I don’t make it easy to even wanna see it

            C
Nothing old, nothing new

              Am
But if there’s two things I know

             Am
It’s that the sky looked white and the water like wine

      C
When I first met you
[Pre-chorus]
         G
But somewhere across the line

           G
Rayleigh scattered across my eye

                G
And I found her blue

                  G
Yeah, I found her blue
Am C D Am [Chorus]
G                          Am    C
    You don’t know what you don’t know yet

          D
Yeah, I go on forgetting it

          Am                         G
Don’t you go on forgetting it, too
Am C
         D                      Am
Don’t you go on forgetting it
G Am
         C                      D
Don’t you go on forgetting it
D [Outro] G
                       G
I must have found a new cone in my eye

                                  G
What other lapis lazuli was hiding behind my color blindness?

                                                    G
What did I miss, what did I miss, what did I miss?
G
