  The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem
     |F                 |Bb                      |F      Fsus4|F   
  And I'm just tryin' to fight my way out of this dream
  
  [repeat verse pattern]
  
  Don't listen to the words I say
  Weighing up if I'm enlightened
  Don't shiver as you pass me by
  'Cause mister, I'm the one who's frightened
  The police just came and left
  They wanted me and no one else
  Don't pretend that you know me
  'Cause I don't even know myself
  I said I don't know myself
  
  I don't mind if you try
  And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
  The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem
  And I'm just tryin' to fight my way out of this dream

     Do you still love me?

  There's only five who know my real name
  My mother don't believe they know it
  What she called me is the way I'm staying
  And no one will ever blow it
  Come on all of you big boys
  Come on all of you elves
  Don't pretend that you know me
  'Cause I don't even know myself
  I said I don't know myself
  
  I don't mind if you try once in a while
  And I don't mind if I cry once in a while
