Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It's always hurry up and wait,
with your hands [F]tied
Don't tell me, [G]I know
Got ya standin' at the gate, on the outside
[F]Don't tell me,[G] I know

[Verse 2]
I [F]know the feel[C]in's been
[G]the same with me
I [F]know it's al[C]ways [G]moving slow.
I [F]know you're,
you're [C]fed up as [G]a man can be
I [F]know, I [C]know, I know.
[G]

[Verse 3]
So they've learn'd ya how
to crawl on your bruised knees
[F]Don't tell me, I k[G]now
Got ya back against the wall
in their [D]deep [G]freeze
[F]Don't tell me, I k[G]now

[Verse 4]
I [F]know the feel[C]in's been
[G]the same with me
I [F]know it's al[C]ways [G]moving [Bb]slow.[G]
I [F]know you're,
[C]you're fed up as [G]a man can be
I [F]know, I [C]know, I know.

[Interlude 1]
[G]
All right.
[F]Hey[G][D][G][F][G]
[F][G][D][G][F][G]

[Verse 5]
I saw [G]they're grindin' up
your dreams in their gristmill
[F]Don't tell me,[G] I know
No it isn't what it seem'd,
it's [D]a, a- hard [G]pill
[F]But don't tell me, I k[G]now

[Verse 6]
I [F]know the feel[C]in's been
[G]the same with me
I [F]know it's al[C]ways [G]moving slow.
I [F]know you're,
you're [C]fed up as [G]a man can be
I [F]know, I [C]know, I [G]know.

[Verse 7]
I [F]know, I [C]know, I [G]know... say yeah
I [F]know an' I [C]know an' I know... [G]say I know
I [F]know, I [C]know, [G]I know.

[Verse 8]
Um, uh [G]Oh,

[Outro 1]
