I KNOW (Kim Richey, John Leventhal)
-----------------------------------
[Actually in Ab; capo 1.]
[Each chord is half of a 2/2 measure.]
[D/A is usually more like D5/A (x0023x) or Dsus4/A (x00233).]
[G=320033; C(9)=x32033; G/B=x20033, with a hammer-on to the 2 on the A string.]
[If you're just strumming chords (rather than playing the guitar part with all
the low notes and hammer-ons), then the last G/B is more like D/B.]
[Note on the parts that start with Em: on the recording, the second and third
times are different (Em D G D), but when Kim plays it solo in concert, she
does Em C G D every time.]

I should be getting some sleep, I try and try but I can't keep from
G G C(9) G/B D/A D/A C(9) G/B
picking apart everything that we said

raise up the dead

I should fix the lock, feed the cat, take the clothes to the laundromat

I shouldn't be spinning my wheels, just to see how bad it feels
G G C(9) G/B Bm Bm D D
Just to see how far I won't go
G G C(9) G/B D/A D/A C(9) G/B
I should be breaking these chains, not dragging 'em round just to feel the pain
G G C(9) G/B D/A D/A C(9) G/B
Never should have taken this road
