[Verse]
  G                                A# 
I withdrew from the street and all humanlike zones 
  D                                B 
I'd had it, I'd had it - I was mush to the bones 
  G                                A# 
I covered the windows, I was taking no calls 
  D                                B 
Then I thought for a month inside the alien walls
[Chorus]
 A            G 
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so 
 A            G 
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so 
 A            G 
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so 
 F#           F 
but I can recall it all

[Verse]
  G                                A# 
I called up a girl I'd known for so many years 
  D                                B 
I'd seen her in shock, I'd seen the last of her tears 
  G                                A# 
I admired her style from her toes to her brain 
  D                                B 
She accepted my plan and so she caught the next train
[Chorus]
 A            G 
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so 
 A            G 
Now I know, oh They don't tell you so 
 A            G 
Now I know. Oh They don't tell you so 
 F#           F 
but I can recall it all, i remember
