D                   G        A
I know there's a word for this
D                   G             A
I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling
D                   G          A
I know there's a word for this
D                   G       D           G
I know it and it's on the tip of my tongue
D                  G    A
And it won't go any further

D                   G          A
I know there's a word for this
D                    G      A
I know 'cause it's in the dictionary
D                   G       A
And when I find what it is
D                       G        D           G
I'll write it down in case it comes up again
D                G     A
I'll be certain to avoid it
    G           D
So take this down:
G      G/F#   Em
I just feel so beat
        G           D
and I think it's time
G     G/F#   Em
to admit defeat
           G      D
I thought I got mine
        G         D
but that uphill climbing
    A / / / G  /  A /
is never through

I know there's a word for this

I know 'cause we've all at sometime said it
D                         G     A
Like when we were little kids
D                       G
We'd fight each other til
D                        G
someone would give in
D                        G          A
and you'd make him tell you "uncle"
