Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Ab]We understand each other
Bull!
You hear [Bb]some distant
[Eb]drummer play
[Db]I think [Eb]we u[Ab]nderstand
[F]each other
Have you no else [Bbsus4]to offer?
Poor [Fm]boy!
I have ex[Bb]penses [G]to [C]defray
[Em]I hope we [F]understand each other
[C]We have a problem
Yes, but it's not [Em]that we
[Dm]Don't understand
each [F]other

[Verse 2]
Oh brother[G]![C]
When [Dm]they [F]say "un[G]derstand"
They [C]gotta mean fairyland
[Fm]For [C]twenty ton[Dm]s of s[F]il[Gsus4]ver[G]
[C]She sold him into stir
An[F]d when it gets his f[Esus4]reedom back
[E]He [F]throws [Gsus4]it away over[G] her[C][Em][F]
When he [C]says [Em]"unde[Dm]rstand"
He must [F]mean some oth
[G]er [C]gir[Dm]l

[Verse 3]
[F]I'll never [G]comprehend
My [C]putrid [Fm]tast[C]e in men[Dm]
It's [F]not fair I love
[G]Each [C]little hair [F]and he
Don't [Esus4]even care [E]abo[F]ut me
When she says "under[G]stand"
Must mean some other
[C]man
Our preconceptions to retain We're obliged to [Em]exclaim

[Verse 4]
[F]We
understand each other

[Verse 5]
We hear some dis[C]tant drummer play
Must [Em]mean we [Dm]understand
each [F]other
[Bbsus4]Oh brother![Bb]

[Verse 6]
[Ab]If[Bb][Ab][Bb][Eb]
[Ab][F][Bbsus4]
[Ab]ther[Fm]e's a[Bb] problem[G][C]
We'll admit it
Not [Em]that we don't
[Dm]understand each othe[F]r
Each [C]other
When [Em]they say

[Verse 7]
[F]"understand"
It's [C]like [Em]wendy [Dm]and [F]peter pan
Have you ever met somebody
[C]More self- involved than [Em]he?
[F]This has got to be a miracle
The man has [C]divine [Em]empathy

[Verse 8]
[F]What could be wrong with me?
I know his re[C]partee
Insin[Em]cere
He's down
There, [Dm]I'm up here
But [F]whenever he's near

[Verse 9]
It's some [C]kind of divine empathy
[Em]When [F]they say "under
[Dm]stand"
[F]Smells like something else
[C]to me
We're talking sleight of hand
Each [Em]other's [F]mind
We [Fm]read so [C]well
We have no time to know ourselves
[Em]We u[F]nderstan[Dm]d each other[Fm]

[Verse 10]
Though we don't even know ourselves [C]We
think [Em]we u[F]nderstand each other[Fm]
[C]Though we [Em]don't even know ourselves
[F]We think we understand
[Fm]each [C]other
Though we [Em]don't [Dm]know ourselves
[F]I hope we [Fm]unde[C]rstand each other
[Em]Each other
