[Intro 1]
[C][Cm][C][Cm][F][C]
[G][Cm][C]
[Cm][C]
[Cm]who knew

[Verse 1]
[C]who knew
our life would be so [Cm]complic[F]ated
who knew
that we [C]would [Cm]be s[C]o automated
no [G]time to think on the brink who knew
[Cm]

[Verse 2]
who knew
not me, not you or anyone [F]else
come to think of it, it's [C]true
we're [Cm]misinformed
and [G]al ways warned
to look out who knew
[C][Cm][Eb]

[Verse 3]
be ready to fabricate and [Cm]navigate
your personal [Eb]fate
you've got to [C]articulate, tolerate
and circu[Cm]late[Eb]
rearrange and change your [Cm]thing
just to accommodate
[Eb]go there, be back, t[D]urn around,
go back, [Dbm]hurry up, then wait,

[Interlude 1]
don't be late who knew
[Eb][Cm][Eb][Cm][F][C]
[G][C][Cm]

[Verse 4]
[Cm]i got yours, you[Bb] got mine
[F]hurry up, there ain't no time
ex[Cm]hilarate [Eb]somet[Dm]ime this year[C]

[Verse 5]
[Cm]too much of this,
[Bb]not enough of that,
[F]dislocated is where we're [Fm]at
[F]sig[Cm]n of the tim[Eb]e is her[D]e who[Dbm] knew[C]

[Interlude 2]
[Cm][C][F][Cm][C][F]
[C][F][Bb][Cm][G][Cm]

[Verse 6]
[Cm]oh my, just a [C]sigh of reli[Cm]ef
there's too much grief [C]in this [F]life
too much strive you've got
[Cm]to compete or turn a new leaf or d[C]ie[G]
the [C]reason why

[Verse 7]
[C]
when you [Eb]go around uptown
you [Cm]can't [C]be looking [Cm]down
[Eb]wordy rise be wise
[Cm]give [C]you a joke on the wall
you recognize
[Cm]tran[Eb]quilize i compromise
with you
[Cm][C][Cm][C]

[Verse 8]
[Eb]
blank stair[Dm]s everywhere
[Dbm]don't look mad, who [C]cares[Cm][C]
[Cm]who [C]knew[F][C][F][C][Cm][G]

[Interlude 3]

[Verse 9]
[Cm](...)
too much of this, [Bb]not enough of that,

[A]who[C] knew
[Cm]who knew

[Verse 10]
our life would be [Bb]so complicated
[F]that we would be so automated
no [Cm]time [Eb]to think [Dm]who k[C]new
