Verse 1:

C 
I don't know how 

G 
To tell you I love you 

Am 
To tell you I miss you 

F 
To tell you I care 



I don't know how 
To tell you it's right 
When it feels so wrong 
For you to be near 

And I don't know why 
The sun's in the sky 
The rain, it falls down 
Down onto the ground 

I've been in trouble 
I'm feelin' down 
But please tell me now 
You're stickin' around 




C 
I don't know how 

G 
I don't know how 

Am 
I don't know how 

F 
I don't know how 

I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 




Verse 2:


I've seen a million things 
I've been around town 
And what I know now 
Since you've been around 

Though I'm so young 
I feel I'm so old 
I've been through the summer 
Stuck around for the cold 




I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 


I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how

You walk around without a care 

You see me everywhere 
You walk around without a care 
You see me everywhere 
You walk around without a care 
You see me everywhere 
You walk around without a care 



I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 

I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how 
I don't know how

My body bruised, she got me with  whoops
