The Who - I Don't Even Know Myself: chords

C                        F D#
Nothin' in the way I walk
            C                       F D#
that could tell you where I'm going
There's nothing in the words I speak
That can betray anything I'm knowing
        F                    D#
Don't think about the way I dress
         F                   D#
You can fit me on a labeled shelf
G#maj7                   D#
Don't pretend that you know me
       G#             D#    F  G#/F F
'Cause I don't even know myself,
                     C
ooh, I don't know myself

Chorus:
F                    A#             F
I don't mind if you try once in a while
    F                  A#             F
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
     A#                  D#                  A#
The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem
    F                  A#                         F
And I'm just tryin' to fight my way out of this dream

Don't listen to the words I say
Weighing up if I'm enlightened
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 myself
I said I don't know myself

Chorus:
I don't mind if you try
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

   F              A#
Do you remember me?
   F                A#
I don't remember you
F             A#
Do you still love me?
      F                A#
You know I think you do
C            A# F/A G
I have been gone
           C                      A#  F/A G
And some prison warden knows my scream
     C                  A#           F/A     G    C
But I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream,

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 myself
I said I don't know myself

I don't mind if you try once in a while
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
