I Know There's A Word

Author: Aimee Mann
Album: Whatever
Transcribed by:  Randy Hall (rhall@mullen.com)

A simply beautiful (and very easy) tune from Aimee Mann's (formerly of 'Til
Tuesday) first solo album.  If anyone else out there knows chords for other
tunes on the disc, feel free to e-mail me, or better yet, post them!

Intro:  D  D  G  G  A  A  Asus4  A (2X)  4/4 time -- similar throughout

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

(Repeat intro)

D		   G           A
I know there's a word for this
D		         G      A
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"

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

(Repeat intro -- final chord is D)
