[B]
Here comes a wake, [A] the speed that can't shake [B] I see you wake, shake, fade on those [A] overalls
What do you know [E] about this world, [B] anyway?
I see a man [A] with an airfield flag [B] I caught a boy fall out of the sky
[A] What do you know [E] about this world, [B] anyway?
[Abm] I marry, I marry, [E] I marry, I marry [B] America!

[B] Every
[Abm] [E]
[B] time you touch this [A] place, it feels like sin.
[B] Every time the handshake starts the face rustin'
[A] What do you know about this [E] world [B] anyway?
Here comes the sun, [A] I see the sun
[B] And hear the sunshine so bright my eyes go [A] blind
What do you know about [E] this world [B] anyway?
