[Strophe]
A 
I gave up on time 
A 
Just like you said you would 
A 
There are tiny cracks of light underneath me 
                        F#m  D 
And you say I got it wrong 
                               A 
But I tried hard to uncover them 
A 
I have somehow got 
A 
Away with everything 
A 
Anything you ever did was strictly by design 
                  F#m  D 
But you got it wrong 
                             A 
And I'll go anywhere but there
[Pre-Refrain]
    E 
And you had best believe 
                    F#m 
That you cannot build what I don't need 
      D 
And I know I need to feel relief 
      E 
And I know you'll never fold 
                F#m 
But I believe nothing that I'm told 
      D 
And I know I need to feel relief
[Refrain]
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to tell it just how as it was 
D 
Take care to tell on me for the cause 
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to bury all that you can 
D 
Take care to leave a trace of a man
[Strophe]
A 
I will show restraint 
A 
Just like we said we should 
A 
You think I'll apologize for things I left behind 
                   F#m   D 
But you got it wrong  
                              A 
And I'm as sane as I ever was 
A 
You talk far too much 
A 
For someone so unkind 
A 
I will wipe the salt off of my skin 
                                F#m   D 
And I'll admit that I got it wrong 
                                    A 
And there is grey between the lines
[Pre-Refrain]
    E 
And you had best believe 
                    F#m 
That you cannot build what I don't need 
      D 
And I know I need to feel relief 
      E 
And I know you'll never fold 
                F#m 
But I believe nothing that I'm told 
      D 
And I know I need to feel relief
[Refrain]
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to tell it just how as it was 
D 
Take care to tell on me for the cause 
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to bury all that you can 
D 
Take care to leave a trace of a man
[Pont]
F#m               E       A  D 
I know, I know, I know, I know 
F#m               E       A  D 
I know, I know, I know, I know
[Refrain]
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to tell it just how as it was 
D 
Take care to tell on me for the cause 
E                A 
I know I need to feel released 
D 
Take care to bury all that you can 
D 
Take care to leave a trace of a man

I know I need
