  G5                                A#5
I withdrew from the street and all humanlike zones
  D5                                B5
I'd had it, I'd had it - I was mush to the bones
  G5                                A#5
I covered the windows, I was taking no calls
  D5                                B5
Then I thought for a month inside the alien walls

 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so
 F#5           F5
but I can recall it all

  G5                                A#5
I called up a girl I'd known for so many years
  D5                                B5
I'd seen her in shock, I'd seen the last of her tears
  G5                                A#5
I admired her style from her toes to her brain
  D5                                B5
She accepted my plan and so she caught the next train

 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so
 F#5           F5
but I can recall it all, i remember

  G5                                A#5
We would secretly smile inside our surgical masks
  D5                                B5
But we were serious too - we accomplished our ask
  G5                                A#5
The schedule was followed, a daughter was born
  D5                                B5
And so the mother departed - I was left with her form

 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so
 F#5           F5

  G5                                A#5
Her education's begun - I'm intent on success
  D5                                B5
Her breathtaking beauty it brings out my best
  G5                                A#5
I once knew true love - she won't know another
  D5                                B5
Life is renewed, my little girl is my lover

 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so
 A5            G5
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so
 F#5           F5
but I can recall it all
